How to Sterilize
Tattoo body art has been popular for many years and gains more and more popularity. And body piercing is seen everywhere. As it is done by a special needle puncturing into certain flesh of human body, the opportunity for infection in any given tattoo is enormous though disposable tattoo and piercing needles and tubes are really available, and some people say that there is really no risk of exposure. The problem is that needles and tubes are not the only instruments in spreading disease. There are still so many other piercing equipment which can be handled wrongly by an inexperienced person who hasn’t been properly trained will cause infection and disease, such as, cross contamination.
First, wash and soak in bleach the piercing equipment. The risk of infection can be reduced by always cleaning tattoo supplies and body piercing equipment in bleach and water immediately after use and just before reuse. But bleach cleaning is not risk free, it is only an important tool for risk reduction. For it to be effective you must be consistent and careful in cleaning them. The process is quite a bit of work and a waste of time and effort and is not a suggested way as long as for urgent sterilizing but there is no other sterilization equipment.
Other Basic Body Piercing Equipment
This is a short guide to the supplies that you will need to perform proper, and sterile piercing.
Autoclave: By far one of the most vital items in piercing. The autoclaves provide a way for the needles and clamps to be sterilized. Autoclaves are a tool that exposes items to steam at high pressure in order to decontaminate the materials and render them sterile. All of the items will require being wrapped individually and un-wrapped in front of the client.
Needles: A piercing needle is a hollow needle, purposely designed to cut a round, or oval hole through the skin. This provides a subsequent passage for the jewelry.
Slotted navel clamp: The clamp provide a way of stretching the skin, allowing the piercer easier access to the area to be pierced.
Forceps: This instrument is worn for grasping, and holding the skin out from the body to allow ease of piercing.
H2Ocean: Is a cleaning solution, worn in the sterilization of the surrounding area of the piercing, it is also used in the after-care of the new piercing.
Ring closing pliers: These are used on captive rings; it can be difficult to close the rings on the tiny ball. This item will aid in your piercing. You can find them in large, medium, and small sizes.
Ring opener: Much like the closing of captive rings, it can be difficult to open them the first time they are removed from the sterile pouch. These will aid in opening the captives.
Receiving cork: The cork will help avoid cross-contamination from your client, to you. Placing the cork on the opposite side of the piercing, it will receive the tip of the needle allowing it to be safely handled by the piercer.
Septum forceps: These are forceps specifically intended to aid in nose piercing. It guides the needle away from the skin that is not to be pierced.
H2Ocean Mouthwash: This item is to be used prior to oral piercing, and throughout the healing process.
Jewelry: Of course, this is one of the most important items on a piercers list. It is important to stock a variety of jewelry for your clients to choose from. Chances are, if their experience has been a good one, they will return to get more jewelry and piercing from you at a later date.
