The Salon Sundry Professional Tabletop Ultraviolet UV Tool Sterilizer Cabinet is another incredible option for tattoo artists that are looking to sterilize their equipment in a safe manner. All you do is insert the tools into the sterilizer and close the door.
Keeping this in consideration, what can I use to sterilize tattoo equipment?
You can use bleach and water to clean a tattoo machine, but you have to clean the bleach back off because it causes oxidation, which makes metal rust. The bleach you need to use is chlorine bleach, not the scented bleach because often it’s too pungent of a smell.
Considering this, how do you sterilize a tattoo at home without an autoclave?
The only other alternative to an autoclave, pre-sterilized disposables and chemical baths that’s worth considering is a dry heat sterilizer. Dry heat sterilizers can effectively sterilize tattoo and piercing tools, but they require more energy and time to do so.

Can you Sterilise a needle with a lighter?
Use a fire that does not produce much residue, such as a butane lighter. Hold the needle into the flame with the help of an instrument, such as tweezers or pliers, until the tip of the needle glows red. It will be extremely hot to the touch. Remove any char residue on the needle with a sterilized gauze pad.
