Established Edmonton studio
I tattoo out of Crimnson Empire Tattoo, a real storefront studio that's been open for 18 years. No private back-of-the-building setup — just a clean, professional shop with a front desk and a real team.
Proof
“I had the best experience getting tattooed by Curt. I brought my son in for his first tattoo and Curt made his experience comfortable and positive. From the free consultation where he was transparent about pricing, through the appointment in a supportive and relaxing environment, then the detailed after care instructions - 10/10.”
