Vanessa was absolutely amazing!!! She was very patient (I was pretty nervous because I hadn't had a tattoo done in over 20 years and it was going to be done on my ribs), precise and extremely professional. My tattoo is absolutely perfect. I highly recommend seeing her for your next tattoo, you'll definitely be impressed. I sure was!!! Thank you so much Vanessa. I love my new tattoo!!! Read Less

Was here today for a walk-in Saturday session. If you’re thinking of coming for a walk-in, show up early! At 10:43, there were people already lined up waiting. It’s a very clean shop and all the staff were friendly and accommodating. Vanessa was my artist and she did a damn good job with the design I wanted. Got it all done the same day and the price was phenomenally cheap. Was a great experience overall. Recommended for further ink therapy sessions. ☝️👍 Read Less

Crimson Empire is a GREAT place to get tattooed! They are happy and welcoming and care about your happiness. The shop is also set up quite neatly, you can see everyone else getting tattooed....which might be every shop, but not in my experience. I would highly recommend them for not only for the kind staff but also the cleanliness and professionalism. Top notch. Read Less

I can't put into words how great the experience was. There was no awkward silence or forced conversation, the entire time was fun and relaxing. Adrienne was incredibly fast with high attention to detail, she even got me in early which was a wonderful surprise! By far the best tattoo shop in edmonton! I can't wait to return! Read Less

Got my first tattoo a month ago with Landon. He spent a good amount of time with me figuring out the details of my design, gave me some things to think about and consider while he drew up the design. He had some really good advice and suggestions. Which was really important to me (I had some other consultations where the artist was just going to do exactly what I described; despite my asking for as much input as possible) I Went back for my appointment and Landon had a couple⋯⋯ variations done up, both of which were awesome. Now that have it, I can't stop looking at it. Healed super fast and looks amazing. Already planning my next one. 查看更多 Read Less

I've been tattooed at several places in and out of the city and recieved some great work that I am proud to show off. Although, this was my first time getting tattooed with a lakeview! It was easy to relax and let my artist do their job. Great Customer service, talented artists and did mention the view? ha! Read Less

I have never been more satisfied with a tattoo shop ever. Great experience right from the first email. They were professional, went out of their way to accommodate me and my 100 questions.Thanks for the great ink! I will be back. I tell everyone Crimson Is the shop to go to! Thanks Curt Read Less

I ABSOLUTELY enjoy going to crimson to get work done it's extremely clean very friendly people and always awsome music. The best thing though is the quality of work you get. I've started a sleeve & have Chad on the south side doing it and every time I go am more than pleased. I highly recommend crimson empire. Read Less

Been there twice (one tattoo for me, one for my sister) and both times I felt very comfortable. Adrienne made me very comfortable and was not rude or pushy even though we had to place the stencil in a few spots to make sure I was completely satisfied. Definitely recommend.Read Less

Saw Chris Benson at the south location and it was nothing less than phenomenal, yet again. He's done 5 pieces on me so far and this was the largest and most awkward placement but he was extremely professional and great with everything! I was getting wimpy towards the end and he was great about getting it done quickly, efficiently, and WELL and I can't stress that enough. He gave me breaks when I needed and helped me push through when he needed. I am so so so pleased With the piece as well as the whole service. Crimson empire south sides staff were all extremely friendly and the space was beautiful. Could not be happier :) Read Less

One week ago I got a whale shark tattoo done by Adrienne and I can't stop looking at it! I have a few tattoos done by different artists but never have I had a tattoo heal this quick and this good. Next to zero scabbing and no peeking. The lines are sharp and clean. I will be recommending her to anyone who asks. As well the new south side shop is bright and clean and the staff is all really friendly. Thanks!! Read Less

My recent visit to Crimson Empire was fantastic. The shop is fairly spacious, particularly in the lobby/waiting room. Staff at the front desk were very friendly and seemed excited, which gave a great first impression. There were many different rooms in which tattoo equipment was set up, and it looked like clients got a lot of privacy during the tattooing process. The shop was very clean and organized. I felt extremely at ease with respect to the atmosphere in general.Sheila is a very skilled tattoo artist, and took what little description I gave her and turned it into something beautiful. She is relaxed and easygoing and made getting tattooed a great experience. I am definitely interested in getting more work done by her!The two of us happened to be located next to another artist working on a client, and therefore between all of us chatting and loud background music it was a bit noisy. I've been tattooed in both noisy and quiet environments and I don't really have a preference, so this was totally fine with me. Another thing I noticed while at the shop is that other staff/artists would occasionally come by and check out what we were doing, and everyone seemed to get along. This is also something that put me at ease; it seemed that we were working in a supportive and considerate environment. Overall this tattoo experience was awesome, and I have no doubt that I will be back when I'm ready for another one! Read Less
