Best Tattoo Shops In Modesto

“I want to begin by thanking Joseph on his incredible professionalism and customer service on helping us in our process. I had reached out because my daughter wanted a nose piercing and because she is under 18 there are requirements that have to be met. He reached to me within one day and explained what I needed and when he would be available. The day of the procedure (piercing) he sat down and confirmed paperwork and then finally got started. He was very patient and thorough in explaining the process and the aftercare. I would recommended him for any future piercing of any kind. Thank you again“

“I got my first tattoo by Tudy back in 2010 or 2011 and have been coming back ever since. His shop is always extremely clean, he’s always on time and always has my artwork ready when I show up for my appointment. I can’t recommend this shop enough!! You won’t be disappointed!!“

“Jeff is super unprofessional. He refuses to give you your deposit back and refuses to show you your stencil. Not good at communicating. Stole $100 from me w no proof of my tattoo being drawn up. Initial message was two months ago, drawing was finished one month ago, and deposit was sent a week ago and still nothing. Prioritizes his time over yours. Gas lights you for him no showing. Tells me I don't understand what it's like to have a kid and how everything isn't always going to go my way. Asks me to call him and when I call him he has no idea who it is. Had to ask multiple times to see my tattoo and multiple times how to send the deposit. I shouldn't have to know everything that is going on in my artist's life. It's simple communication, I sent a deposit to ensure his time not being wasted but what about mine. I can't imagine if I just no showed to one of our appointments and he had to be the one to reach out to me twice for me to say anything.“

“He did two tattoos for me he's the best !! If you're near Central Valley pay him a vist! Friendly and understanding..“

“Ken put my vision into a beautiful piece in memory of my parents. Red carnation for January for my mom. Pink larkspur for July for my daddy. Purple narcissus for December for me and the cutest little bumblebee for my twin sister. I’m 70 years old, and my parents have been gone for quite a while. The colorful ink and his vision was amazing. THANK YOU SO MUCH, KEN.“

“I first started going to Shoot The Moon over three years ago and I have had the absolute best experience. The business itself is very clean and well organized. Arrow my artist has the most wonderful bed side manner when it comes to tattooing. She is very big on keeping things clean and prepped during the appointment and is not heavy handed at all. I have suggested her to so many of my friends and families and anyone who compliments my TARDIS. ❤️“

I just trust he owner Eddie his years of experience and talent make me confident in my decisions and placements as well.“

“Wow, what an amazing experience! This was my first big tattoo, so I was definitely a bit nervous going in. But from the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. Caleb was awesome – so professional, calm, and truly gifted at what he does.

My tattoo came out way beyond what I expected. It was done in two sessions, and I could tell Caleb really cares about his work. He took his time to make sure every detail was perfect, and it shows – my lion with tribal design looks absolutely incredible.

The shop itself has such a clean, welcoming, and chill vibe. I left feeling so happy and confident with my tattoo. I’m already planning to come back for my full sleeve. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, I can’t recommend this place enough – and definitely ask for Caleb. His work is next-level.“

“Freddy Benz, don’t know him? You should, he the one that gave me my newest tattoo. Great guy, does fine work and was done in an hour and a half. Easy to talk to and I would definitely recommend the place. Freddy says that got a lot of artists that specialize in all different styles of art. For my next tattoo I will definitely be going back to this place and recommending it to anyone thinking of a tattoo. Thank you Freddy!“

“We absolutely love Daniel at Emerald Tattoo & Piercing! He has done my daughter’s nose, helix, and 3rd lobe piercings, and every experience has been amazing. He is incredibly patient, kind, and professional, and always makes my daughter feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the process.

He also takes the time to help her change out her jewelry whenever needed, which we truly appreciate. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his clients and their experience. We wouldn’t go anywhere else for piercings. Highly recommend Daniel to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, skilled, and welcoming!“

“Great place to get a tattoo. Monster Bob is who I got tattooed from. Very happy with the results.“

“For the past 10 years, I have proudly decorated my body with over 20 unique tattoos crafted by Juan. He has never ceased to amaze me as his artwork just gets better and better every time! With an eye for detail and a passion for perfecting his craft, there is no one like him out there - that’s why I can confidently show off all of my tattoos knowing they are works of art! Many thanks to Juan who continues to turn up the wow factor on each piece he designs.“
