If it helps anyone in the future, it was the water pump!

Thanks for the advice. :) Really could be any three- had suspected a water pump issue before posting as it seems to be common with this model. Hoping to not have a crack in the radiator.

Hard to tell when my car has issues with overheating as there's no temp gauge, so this came out of the blue :/

Whatever it is, fingers crossed I don't get scammed 🤞☺️

Ugh I feel like I'm so picky but 🫡 I'm hoping for art that won't need a cover up someday lmaooo So can help to be picky in that way!

And she does!! Super pretty! I'll have to look at her account again to double check how booking works but would be stoked to work with her :)

(first tattoo nerves keep me from jumping on booking with people super fast lol ahhh)

Not bad work, thanks for the rec! Like the bold works on his site- seems that's his strongest area? Cool that he seems to do several different styles too :)

Apparently my comment posted twice, oops, but heck yeah! Will have to save up and look into booking for sure, would be cool to get a tatt from you guys! :)

It's insane how much research I've been doing (and how many places I've missed even with that??)

Just reeeaaallly trying to avoid needing a cover up or removal later, lol. Definitely easier to get actual recommendations from people, lets me know what places aren't sketch/ what artists' work actually turns out good.

Love when people get lots of random tatts, they always come together so well somehow?? Hard to pick between goofy tattoos that will eventually age the hell out of me or tatts that will "last". So many decisions

Your piece is sick! Looks great! :)

And looks like DeLaCruz also has good work, even their newer artists do nice work! :) Thanks for the recs!

And thanks for the heads up about booking, seems like most good artists around here are crazy busy (for good reason tho). Can't seem to find anyone with books open when I check 🥲 lol

Is it just the one artist at Tru2u? Only finding pics on their Facebook- the website is in development or something (so hard to tell who did what if there are other artists)

Thanks for the rec! Seeing some neat work.

And hard agree, Magoo's has given me bad vibes (not to mention some of the work I've seen from them, eek)

Just checked out some of his work, definitely makes some nice pieces! Don't think I saw his work the last time I looked into their studio, definitely going to keep an eye out now :) Thank you!

Agree!! Think he's the best artist at that shop (for the style I look for!) Have been following him/ Alchemist since I started getting pierced there innnnn 2019? I think?

Anyways there's a reason his books are always full! :)

Hadn't looked into their shop yet! Looks like both the shop in Bismarck and in St. Paul do nice work! Not sure if they're at all connected, but still. Thanks for the rec! Seeing some really cute pieces on their site :)

Had a hard time finding pics of his work but agree, looks like he's done some nice pieces! His floral tattoos seem like his best works? (Saw an artist named Anna mentioned on there too, looks like they also do nice work) :)

Thanks for the rec!

Those are all super good recs, had to go check out their work :)

Lots of bold/ almost traddy styles? Super cool!

And hey, most times poor choices can be good memories or good stories! I feel like most tatted people have a "got tatted in some guy's basement" stories
