A Shop On
West Camelback
InkSquad started as a tattoo studio and grew into a place you can get inked, pierced and lasered without leaving the building.
Who we are
Built Around The Artists
InkSquad is a Phoenix shop at 5118 W Camelback Rd, sitting on the line between Phoenix and Glendale and drawing clients from both. It began with tattooing and stayed built around it. Everything else in the building exists because tattoo clients kept asking for it.
Three artists take clients here. That is small on purpose. It means the person who draws your piece is the person who tattoos it, and you are not passed down a bench to whoever is free.
The laser room is run by the owner. Removal, fading for cover-ups, hair removal and carbon peel facials are all done in-house, which keeps the whole process, from the tattoo you regret to the one you want, under one roof.

Three Artists,
Three Books
Each artist keeps their own portfolio on Instagram. That is where the newest work goes up, usually the same week it heals.

How we run it
What Actually
Sets This Shop Apart
- Sterile is not a selling point, it is the floorSingle-use needles opened in front of you, stations broken down between clients, and no piercing guns anywhere in the building.
- The owner does the laser workRemoval, fading and carbon peel sessions are performed in-house rather than contracted out to a visiting technician.
- Straight pricing conversationsThe Deal Or No Deal special exists because we would rather have an honest five-minute talk about money than let someone walk out embarrassed.
- Aftercare built for this climatePhoenix heat is brutal on fresh work. We stock the products, and we walk every client through the first two weeks before they leave.
- A neighborhood shopCamelback Road, serving Phoenix and Glendale locals. Walk-ins are genuinely welcome, not tolerated.
Before you come in
Worth Knowing
- Bring photo ID. Every time, for tattoos and piercings both.
- You must be 18 to be tattooed in Arizona. There is no consent form that changes that.
- Eat first. The single most common reason a session goes badly is an empty stomach.
- Call before a long drive. Hours follow the artists' books, so a quick call saves a wasted trip.
