Soul Patch Tattoo, about a 15-minute drive east in Riverbank, California. Custom work by appointment.
Soul Patch is the close, custom alternative for Modesto clients who want serious work without driving to the Bay Area. Plenty of our regulars start their day downtown, run their errands in Modesto, and roll up to the shop in Riverbank with time to spare. Modesto is also where most of our cover-up clients come from, the bigger city means more old work that wants reframing.
From downtown Modesto, head east on Yosemite Boulevard / Highway 108 toward Riverbank. The drive is straightforward, about 12 miles, and the shop is on Santa Fe Street, just off the main strip. Parking is easy, the area never feels crowded.
Modesto is the cultural and commercial center of Stanislaus County, and a lot of California tattoo culture has roots here. A solid handful of our portfolio came from Modesto referrals: portraits, sleeves, custom pieces that started as a coffee-shop conversation about something a friend got at Soul Patch.
