Firefly Tattoo Collective LLC

I've had many tattoos from Laura at Firefly Tattoo over the past year and I have to say they are the best tattoos I've ever had. Even after sending many pictures we talk about just what is wanted and what can be done before every session. Each of my tattoos has turned out even better than I ever could have expected. Based on what I've seen of Dina and Gerrit's works, they are also excellent at their art. At this point I would never go anywhere else.

Firefly is a very comfortable place with a laid back atmosphere. You never feel intimidated or snubbed coming here. The artists are friendly and professional and very committed to their art and their craft. The shop is clean, very hygienic and the artists use high quality equipment. It's a great place to come for your first tattoo or your second full sleeve.

Had a piece done here recently and the work is top notch. Lots of different talent portfolios to choose from and the artists have been friendly and easy to work with. Will definitely be coming back.

I was a recent customer of Firefly, never had a tattoo in my life. I was nervous and anxious and a little stressed (a picture on my body that's there for life!). The Firefly artists were extremely at ease, understanding, and even made things humorous to calm my nerves. The place looks very professional - you could say it's the Mercedes Benz of Tattooing. But that's only to describe the professional and sleek look of the location. The artists and the atmosphere are more like.....well....the Google office in CA. If you can picture it. Everyone there really does love their job and takes pride in everything they do - putting ink to skin.
Gerrit was my artist and he tattooed my family crest. It came out better than expected and he was gracious as ever. He did not rush anything. Actually, he worked on it well into the night because I could tell he really wanted the tattoo to be perfect. The lines were super straight and sharp.
I rarely do review anything online, a little too busy, but I had to write something up. Firefly left me a very satisfied customer, especially since their product is on my body for life - it better be darn good. And it was! They are very booked, so be patient. Would you wait 2-4 months to get a tattoo that looks amazing and is perfect to your imagination or would you want the tattoo within days after having an impulse of getting it? Since it is a life decision, I wanted to wait and it was well worth it.

This is the highest quality, most impressive tattoo studio around. I drive quite a distance to come here (for many appointments) and will never go anywhere else. If you’re looking for where to get some top notch tattoo work done, this one is an easy decision.

I first contacted Laura back in mid-June of 2013 with the tattoo idea I'd had mulling around in my head for a few years but just couldn't get designed on my own. She said it sounded like a fun tattoo but had a waiting list of about six months. Having seen her portfolio and deciding she was the perfect artist for the style of tattoo that I wanted, I went onto the waiting list. Finally, she contacted me in early December and we had our consultation where I again went over my idea. She took notes on everything I wanted and said she'd have a sketch for me a few days ahead of our session. When my plans for our session date had to be changed because of unforeseen circumstances on my end, she let me know that she'd had a weekend cancellation that was the Saturday after Christmas, so I jumped on it!

She sent me a sketch idea for the tattoo on Christmas night, surprisingly and was almost bang on exactly what I wanted already. With a few really minor tweaks, I was all set for my appointment which was today. Firefly Tattoo is in an historic old building and it's very clean, very well-lit and believe it or not, very peaceful! Not at all what you expect out of a tattoo place when you think of all the shady storefronts you see in whatever city you live in. They only take appointments, so there's no rabble just wandering in and there's no phones either, so when you're there for your tattoo, you're getting all the attention of your artist. And believe me, they're all artists.

My tattoo is exactly what I wanted and I've already got another appointment set up with Laura to fix up an older tattoo that I have. I don't plan on a lot more tattoos, but anytime I decide I need another one, Laura is definitely who I'm going to and she's going to be who I suggest people go visit! Thank you, Laura, I couldn't be happier with my custom one-of-a-kind tattoo!

Love getting my work done here by sketch, it's an awesome building I love the set up everyone is so friendly and does great work. All the artist walk around and check your stuff out and talk to you. If your not already a client sucks to suck. Best around town . I don't think I'll ever have someone else do my tattoos besides sketch, his work is A1 and he's light handed. Very professional as well may I add in 😉

Absolutely wonderful place to have your art engraved forever! The VerPlanks are talented artists and their shop proves it. It is by appointment only and all custom work, it is a truly personal experience. I have had two tattoos done by them and I love them and can't imagine going anywhere else :)

I was looking to get a tattoo of my own design that I had had in my head for a long time (almost a decade). I have other tattoos but they're all on my back so I can cover them up if I ever end up not liking them, but this one was going to be big and on my arm so I wanted the best. After seeing all their great reviews and their portfolio, I chose Firefly. I originally wanted Laura but the wait was almost 4 months and I was moving so I couldn't wait that long, so I went with Dina based on her portfolio.

I did all my research and printed out several reference photos, plus drew a picture of what I wanted. She made a copy of everything during our consultation and said she was going to draw something up and email it to me for approval. I never got an email but went ahead and went to my appointment after about another month thinking she'd have it then. Instead, she drew the design straight on my arm without any reference photo or stencil. I know I should've stopped her there, but I thought "she's an artist, it's just her creative process" so I let her start. Big mistake. I had stressed to her how important this was, but she disregarded all the research photos and just redid my drawing in her own personal style basically.

This was the first tattoo I've ever cried after getting. I went back for a touch up in about another month and she tried to fix some stuff but it's still not what I wanted. And I'm always scared with tattoos and haircuts if you tell the artist they did a bad job they will get mad and purposely mess it up more, so I just lied and said it was fine and went on my way. When I get the money again I will go to another local artist and have it fixed.

I did like the atmosphere and location of the shop though, and she was nice, that's about it.

I had a tattoo done by Dina. She created a beautiful design, was professional, patient, and very calming (and the facility is beautiful!). I sat for about 2.5 hours for the outline and will go back in a month for the color. I really look forward to continuing to work with her on this project, and would highly recommend Firefly to anyone looking to get a tattoo.
