I learned how to sterilize with an autoclave 40 years ago when I went to embalming school.Glad to see that the tattoo industry is hands on with autoclaving because of all the nasty bacteria and diseases that can be transferred without proper sterilization! Thanks for making the video to show how to sterilize equipment properly!
Use *an aluminum bread rack to give yourself two layers, bro. You'll be able to do more items at once (they're round and have "legs" that come down in a D shape).
Great video as ever, the topic is really important since there are not so many videos about it. What do you think about using only chemical sterilisation or chemical + UVC?
That’s a great question! I would say go for what is going to get the task at hand accomplished correctly within a budget 1 can afford. Autoclaved can be very expensive, as this one I am using is more in the affordable end. My goal is to combine heat, steam and pressure for sterilization. This little autoclave I use does the trick and is effective at doing what I need it to do. I would say it’s good for private to small studio use but let’s say if it was a larger studio where there is a larger demand of clients we’d want something that can house more than this so we can get more sterilized per round. Is it the best or best type on the market ? I wouldn’t say anything is ever the best but more so best for what you need to do on your end. I feel it all comes down to what our needs are. As long as the elements such as adequate pressure and heat are present we will get to where we are going. I would make certain the autoclave I get reaches desired temperatures, pressures and all of the specifics mentioned in the video prior to purchase. I hope this can shed some light for you.
Doesn't matter what autoclave you get? .... I've seen auto clays for as low as 40 bucks I've seen him as high as a couple grand. What autoclave is actually recommended or the best use for sterilizing the equipment?
Hello Daniel! I have bought a tattoo machine from dragonhawk (mast ancher) and it has a metalic disposible grip. Is it super necessary to buy autoclave or Dry heat machine, or is it posible to cleat it and wrap it properly with out getting in to trouble? thank you~!
@@mikezaimis I don’t have access to an autoclave so I use disposable grips. Not sure what a dry heat machine is, but you can look into chemical sterilizers like Optim CS 20 if you’re dead set on reusable grips. I’m no expert so you’d have to find out for yourself if they’d be effective enough.
@@evanmackay7368 i think am gona keep my desposable...just they are a bit expensice for my machine. i think dry heat is a good option for the grip, you just put it inside and leave it for 30 minutes to 70 celsius. Of course you have to clean it again. Some tattoo artist just clean the grip properly and wrap it also. and they work fine. Any way, thanks man. keep up art
I’m seeing a lot of contradicting statements amongst the tattoo community regarding claving and cold sterilization. I’ve ordered an autoclave to sterilize. But what about properly wrapped pen machines using membrane cartridges? is it necessary to use an autoclave? Do you feel with a product like Cavicide the result is enough to steer away from an autoclave?
@@Nonameisthename666 that’s what I was doing briefly but it gets to be a pain in the neck having to pull out the clave setup. I ended up buying a power wand and disposable grips.
@@dominicgonzales9057 so boiling will sanatize it good enough? cant spend the $200 on a autoclave im using the archer only used on 1 feiend but i want to do some work on myself
Aaaaand what if i put the parts into alcohol based desinfectant stuff before using, and after 10m or so on i assemble the machine with these sterile parts...? Or this is too logical...?

U know u been tattooing since the coil days I bet
Great video as ever, the topic is really important since there are not so many videos about it. What do you think about using only chemical sterilisation or chemical + UVC?
Would you recommend other types of autoclaves? or is this the best type on the market?
That’s a great question!

3:58 what about the newer tattoo guns?
How often are you supposed to autoclave your tattoo equipment ?
After each tattoo you sterilize your grips
@@marcolopez1433 for how long ?
@@Gracesol_inkhalf an hour. Same as the vid.

I have this same question..
If you’re reusing the grip you need to autoclave it after using it. If you’re using a new one everytime just throw it out after each use
@@evanmackay7368 Do you have a autoclave? or dry heat?
@@mikezaimis I don’t have access to an autoclave so I use disposable grips. Not sure what a dry heat machine is, but you can look into chemical sterilizers like Optim CS 20 if you’re dead set on reusable grips. I’m no expert so you’d have to find out for yourself if they’d be effective enough.

Thats what i was thinking or what do you think of boling in a pot only the part that unscrews from the tattoo pen the part that touches the cartrige

@@Nonameisthename666 Oh no sorry I thought you meant autoclaving. No you can not sterilize it properly that way. I wouldn’t recommend it.
@@dominicgonzales9057 ok last question are the cavaside wipes enought to sterile a tattoo pen wiping only the tip and the stem
Does the Dragonhawk S1 or other wireless pens have removable autoclavable grips? Can you give us a list of budget minded cleanable wireless pens?
How many litres is this please? Im setting up as a piercer and really confused about which autoclave to get. Thanks
Is it possible to boil a grip in hot water to sterilize?
No, sterilization only occurs with pressure.
Thank this was great!
Do you have to have the heat pad or can I just put the autoclave on concrete
very well explained.i have an 8lt vacuum autoclave which i love. ive not seen an autoclave like this one before
What about sterylization on heat without steam?
Aaaaand what if i put the parts into alcohol based desinfectant stuff before using, and after 10m or so on i assemble the machine with these sterile parts...?
Or this is too logical...?
Doesn't get all the dried blood and bacteria
do u auto clave coil machines
No
