    I got my tattoos done at the Inkwell. Very friendly atmosphere and the artist made me feel welcome! Thank you for the work.

    This tattoo shop is THE BEST tattoo shop in Modesto, California. I found the shop after my tattoo artist, Scotty B., started tattooing there. He is an amazing artist and so are the rest of the artist there. The service there is awesome and they really make you feel welcome. Rob, the owner, is a super rad guy and an outstanding artist. He also has a great sense of humor! I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a high quality piece. No one does it like the tattoo artist at Inkwell Tattoo. Definitely a place I love to visit and get tattooed at. 10/10!

    I had my first tattoo done at this shop by Scott Brewer. I'm not going to lie, I have been looking at the work of probably almost every tattoo artist locally in the area, for a very, very, long time. I creeped on his Instagram account for over a year before I sent him a message asking to book a tattoo. I explained to him I have a baby who has heart issues, so I was concerned about exposure of covid while in the shop. Not that I would ask everyone to wear a mask while I was there, but just because I wasn't sure how full the shop gets, as it is smaller (I also booked in December when covid numbers were pretty high). I was very grateful that he was willing to set time aside to come in when shop hours were closed, to do my tattoo. I was able to come in an hour before to put numbing cream on, which I feel helped as my tattoo took 4 hours to do. His station prep took about 40 minutes, which I appreciated, as it ensured he cared about how sterile his equipment was. My tattoo is beautiful. I have not had any line blowouts, and it has healed perfectly. I came in the next day after it was done for a wrap change, and when I took the 2nd wrap off 7 days later, my tattoo was virtually healed. He also responded pretty quickly about any questions I had regarding healing and after care, again, being my first tattoo, I didn't know what to expect. His line work is absolutely beautiful and I trust the longevity of his work over time is guaranteed. 10/10 recommend him as an artist.

    Extremely clean and professional shop. I have multiple tattoos by both Rob and Scotty and have always received top-quality work. The artists are very accommodating with custom ideas and keep the mood light and laid back in the shop. If you get tattooed in Modesto, make sure it's at Inkwell.

    Got exactly what I was expecting. Comfortable environment. I'm already planning my next tattoo, that's how great this place is.

    Having stopped in for a Halloween Jammer Special, Rob was able to fit me in for a tattoo that same day.

    Have been a customer for years and always get excellent service. Have had Taylor do several of my…read moretattoos and always come away satisfied. She has always made sure that I got what I wanted. They are great for piercing also as I have a nose piercing and when I accidentally pulled it out just went in and they helped me out. Great place

    Got trolled so hard here…read more Called in to ask if they do walk ins and the price for ear piercings and gave the price $70 for piercings and studs and said walk ins are available so we agreed. Came in and I asked questions since I never got a piercing and didn't know the procedure but neither the receptionist nor piercer wasn't feeling it that day. Maybe I just caught them in a bad day but either way got my ears pierced quickly. However when I went to pay with my Apple Pay they said cash only AFTER I got my ears pierced and they never said anything on the phone. I asked if I can pay by credit card or Apple way and they pointed at an ATM that I couldn't withdraw money from (since I had no debit card). So since I only had a credit card and apply pay, I had to give up my drivers license and waste about an hour walking around to and back to a gas station that didn't do cash backs and Walgreens a mile away that I had to purchase twice and had a limit of $40 for cash. So after I walked all the way back in the Modesto summer in dress shoes (since I came from an interview) I asked them how should I pay the difference and showed me I can pay with... ...Venmo. ...and yeah, they just made me walk an hour in the blistering heat when I could've just venmoed them the whole time. It's a shame since the place was pretty cool and had a nice vibe to it. I debated on giving them like 2 or 3 stars cause they pierced my ears well but man walking in that Modesto heat for 1 hour in dress shoes to get cash I wasn't informed or needed was not the best experience. So yeah... TLDR: bring cash.
