The AUTOCLAVE sterilizer utilizes both steam and pressure to kill bacteria. Steam sterilizers will eliminate common bacteria, however, protection from blood born pathogens such as hepatitis and the HIV virus can most efficiently be controlled with the use of an AUTOCLAVE. Tubes and needles must be cleaned thoroughly before sterilizing. Soapy water and a brush will remove most ink, however, for the best cleaning results an ULTRASONIC cleaner should be used prior to sterilizing.

Supreme recommends ONE TIME use of disposable equipment such as needles, ink caps, tubes etc. to eliminate the transfer of bacteria. Keep all your tubes and needles sterilized in sterilization bags and stored safely. Common sense and attention to a sterile work environment will insure a safe Tattoo experience.
