Original artwork. Personal meaning. A tattoo that’s truly your own.

At Crimson Empire Tattoo, we’re proud to be part of the thriving community in Summerside, located at 2333 90B Street SW in Edmonton, Alberta. Whether you’re walking in for something spontaneous or booking a custom piece, we’re here to help you bring your vision to life. And while we love flash tattoos and inspiration boards, we believe nothing compares to the experience and value of a custom tattoo.

Here’s why your next tattoo should be uniquely yours.

💡 It’s More Than a Tattoo—It’s Your Tattoo

Pinterest and Instagram are great for getting inspired, but your tattoo shouldn’t be a carbon copy of someone else’s ink. A custom tattoo means you’re working with an artist to design something made just for you—a piece that fits your story, your style, and your body.

No one else has your life or your perspective. Why not have a tattoo that reflects that?

🤝 The Beauty of Collaboration

Custom tattoos are all about partnership between you and your artist. You bring the ideas, references, and vibe; we bring the experience, skill, and creativity to transform it into something timeless.

From sizing and placement to composition and symbolism, the process is thoughtful, and the result is something deeply personal.

🚫 Why You Shouldn’t Copy from Pinterest

We totally get it—Pinterest is packed with beautiful tattoos. But directly copying someone else’s design has a few downsides:

• It wasn’t created for your body or skin tone
• It may not age well in a different context
• And frankly, it’s not as satisfying as something uniquely yours

At Crimson Empire Tattoo, we encourage you to bring in reference images for inspiration—but from there, we’ll craft something original, custom-fitted to you.

💰 It’s an Investment in Art You Wear for Life

Custom tattoos might take a bit more time and cost slightly more than flash—but you’re not just paying for ink. You’re investing in:

• One-of-a-kind artwork
• A meaningful creative process
• A better fit and finish
• A design that grows with you over time

Think of it as wearable art with purpose—crafted by professionals who care deeply about what we create.
