The title of this video is not covered in this video. There are vague references to to the ethics and what may necessitate ultrasonic/autoclave use, but no directives.
I’m a 25 year tattooer and well trained, but younger tattooers seem to think I’m over reacting to sterilizing pen grips. It appears Cheyenne shares my concerns with how reusable equipment should be run through an autoclave, and it would be helpful and appreciated if you would revisit this topic and discuss it specifically since many councils refer to manufacturers suggestions.

One thing i never understood is why do you have to autoclave the grips IF the inside of the machine will come in contact with the cartridges that you will have to handle by hand. So usually a q tip works for cleaning the nub on the inside of pens/rotaries. Of course with the correct clean procedure. It won't make a diffrence if you also clean the grips. They are made to be nonporus, sleek and of full coverage. You should clean it- you can use an ultrasound to be safe and a clean procedure with your aøcohol wash etc.
