Hi, i was wondering if you could use an Ultrasonic cleaner to clean your ss tips and tubes. i didn't see it on here, i havn't started tattooing people yet, just grapefruit. i just don't want to keep buying disposable tubes. thanks for any help or suggestions.

Yes, You Can Use An Ultrasonic To Soak Your Tubes Before You Clean Them , But You Still Will Need An Autoclave To Sterilize Them.

When practicing on Grapefruit and Ink-its I dont worry about it much.

Now I dont have an autoclave either so 1. I have 2 of each tube and 2. My wife is a Surgery Technician so she takes the others and sterilizes and bags everything that should be bagged. (Plus shes great on watching me for CC God sometimes too anal)

Everyday I have always clean sterile tubes ready. But I must admit that kinda limits me to 2 clients per day. If I get that lucky.

By the way if anyone has an extra prestige autoclave and can sell it cheaper than what I find on ebay please PM me.

Thanks.
Tony

ultrasonics clean the dried up ink and blood from the tips/tubes but they do not steralize them. there only to be used before you autoclave them

yeah forgiven i'm going to stick to disposibles. I just wasn't sure if it was the same thing diffrent name, i've done more reading on it now, a ultrasonic cleaner cleans it but doesn't sterilize it. so yeah, disposibles all the way. thanks everyone

still worth getting a ultrasonic cleaner whilst you have the money.. just one less thing to buy before the autoclave lol
