Founded when two best friends decided they wanted to open a tattoo shop. Curt and Mitchell both from Edmonton, Alberta Canada conceptualized a tattoo studio that focused on clients, artists, high quality tattooing, and tattoo art.

Crimson Empire Tattoo was established in 2007.

What started out as two buddies talking became a business plan focusing on their goals artistically and as a customer service oriented business. The focus was on doing great tattoos and treating every client with respect and gratitude.

Crimson Empire quickly turned into a local favorite. Things changed and what started out with loyal north side Edmonton clients quickly spread through out the city, then the province of Alberta and now with clients and visiting artists coming from across the region and even from other countries.
