Autoclave
An autoclave is generally
considered to be the only form of
sterilization appropriate for a body
modification studio, although some
low-volume home studios may use chemical
sterilization. It should be noted that
cleaning is the most important part
of sterilization - unclean tools may not
sterilize properly. Cleaning can
be achieved by first putting your tools in a
ultrasonic with proper
cleaning tablets or Alconox and scrubbing them at least
once during the
ultra sonic cycle.
Then with gloved hands remove your equipment and pat dry
it. These tools are still contaminated with microbial bacteria! So
make sure you’re setting them on your “dirty” stainless tray and not on any
surfaces that cannot be sterilized. After your tools have been properly
bagged,an autoclave sterilizes through a combination of pressure and heat. While
it might be difficult to justify the cost if you're just tattooing yourself or
your fluids-exchanged partner from time-to-time, there is no excuse for not
using an autoclave for your non disposable multiuse items and equipment if
you're tattooing friends. No special paperwork is required to buy them—consider
them essential. That said, as with all things, you have to
use them properly.
They must reach and sustain the required heat and
pressure. They must be packed
properly. They must have water in them. They
must be spore tested from time to
time, about once every 10 hours of cycle
time, to ensure they are functioning
properly.
