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.
