Tattoo Artist Charged with Sexual Assault in Edmonton

0:00Edmonds and police just charged a 40-year-old tattoo artist named Iskotel Gladu with five counts of sexual assault against female clients. The allegations center on him touching them inappropriately during tattoo sessions. Most of these incidents reportedly happen this year in 2025, though one goes back to 2021. Cops lost the probe after initial reports rolled in, leading straight to his arrest on April 18th. Gladu's out on conditions now, no contact with the complainants, no weapons allowed, and if he keeps tattooing, he can't be alone with any client. He worked at shops in North and Central Edmonton, spots near 118 Avenue and St. Albert Trail, plus by Kingsway Mall. Investigators suspect more women could be victims, and they're urging anyone with a similar story to step up. This hits hard in a spot where trust is everything between artists and client. If you've got info, hit up Edmonton police at 7804-234567 or pound 377 from yourself.
