Literally just want to browse tattoo artists work as Instagram is where they all upload it but I'm getting hit with a "you need to make an account" as soon as I click any post.

I swear you used to be able to open posts without an account

That Imginn link that mediocreme_ow posted seems promising, but otherwise in a pinch, I have good results with opening Instagram posts from profiles by opening them in a new tab. If you just don't click them, but instead open them in a new tab, I don't get hit with the "create an account".

You're right, you used to be able to do that but it's been a while since it stopped.
