I am at Gold Cross Tattoo in Downtown Johnson City, Tennessee.

A part of the Tri-Cities in Northeast Tennessee. Gold Cross is located at:

214 East Main Street Johnson City, TN 37604

I love doing walk-ins! Certain times of year my scheduling can get full really quick so there’s a common misconception that I don’t take walk-ins. Some days are fully booked, but some aren’t.

You are more than welcome to contact me on a day to day basis about any openings I may have.

I strongly recommend a very minimal aftercare regimen. You will leave your session with a temporary bandage which can stay on for 1-3 hours. Once you remove the bandage, you should clean it immediately.

Wash gently with Dial Antibacterial Soap (the gold one). I do not recommend the bar as it could harbor bacteria between uses. Use your hand to lather up the soap after thoroughly washing your hands. No loofas, wash cloths, or anything else.

Rinse Thoroughly.

Let air dry if possible.

Apply a very thin coat of unscented lotion and moisturize the entire tattoo. It should not be shiny. Your skin should absorb the excess lotion, if any.

Do this 2 times daily. Once when you wake up, and once in the evening. After the 4th day, you can slack off on the aftercare and let your body do its thing.

The goal is to let your body take care of itself. A tattoo is really a minor abrasion that you body can heal without issue. The soap is to keep the new tattoo bacteria-free, but also dries the skin out slightly. So a lotion is perfect to replace that lost moisturization. I do not recommend any sort of ointments or creams.

-Prolonged exposure to sunlight.

-Fully submerging it into water. No baths, pools, jacuzzis, or lakes. (showers are 100% fine)

-People touching it. It is an open would, after all.

-Do not pick or scratch at your tattoo while healing. When it becomes itchy or tight feeling, you can apply a small amount of lotion.

-Avoid a towel touching your fresh tattoo after showering as it could have small amounts of bacteria on it.

-Scented anything. Soap or lotion that has a fragrance.

The shop minimum is $100. My rates vary as to the difficulty of the session, design, etc. However I will always be open to working within a budget. If that’s a concern, please reach out to discuss this with me.

I can usually give you an estimate once I have basic sketch of your design. Although it can vary from the estimate to the final completion of the tattoo.

I do! I don’t care if its been 15 months or 15 years, I will ALWAYS do touch-ups for my clients free of charge.

If you feel you need to reschedule or cancel an upcoming appointment, please reach out to me via email or phone.

Deposit Policy

A deposit is required for all appointments. Deposits range from $50 to $200. Deposits are taken at the time of booking. I accept in-person deposits via cash or card, and I can also invoice you through Square if you’d like to pay online. The deposit will come off the cost of the tattoo if a single session, or the final session of a larger, multi-session tattoo.

I require a minimum notice of 48 hours before your appointment to retain your deposit, otherwise your deposit will be forfeited as it is difficult to refill a time slot at short notice.
