Not happy with the work Adam did, going to have to get it covered up/fixed elsewhere. Have seen his work on freinds and thought it looked good, not the case with my tat.

Out of all of my tattoos, the ones I've gotten from Adam are my favorite. He is so easy to work with. He listens to you and makes sure that it's what you really want. He has also gone out of his way and stayed late one night to get my session in because he didn't want me to have to wait a few weeks to get in. The tattoos are always well done and have held up well over time. Even after 4 years, the first one he did for me still looks clean- no fading, no blurring, no bleeding. He has lighter hand and works efficiently, so the actual process hasn't hurt nearly as bad as some other tattoo experiences I've had, and it's much faster than them as well. Adams also really easy to talk to, so if you do have to sit for awhile, it's in good company. Adam is always my first choice, but especially when I have a medium to larger tattoo. And when I have a friend that's wanting their first tattoo, I send them his way. The prices are also very fair, which is fantastic considering most parlors in Bloomington like to jack up prices because of the college students. Tl;Dr: go to Adam. Great artist, fair prices,  easy to sit with. Read Less

I usually don't do reviews but I must this time. My first experience of getting a tattoo almost ruined me from wanting another. But I had heard countless great stories about little blues and saw several of their masterpieces so I decided I'd go ahead and give it a try.! Peanut is who did mine and I must say I'm extremely pleased with the experience. Got in, he drew up what I was wanting, turned on some fantastic music, and got to work. As he was working on me he just kept asking to make sure I was okay.! He's very polite and definitely made me want more tattoos. I highly recommend little blues! Read Less
