Hey Brandon can you please clarify something for me that you mentioned on this video? You said that you can not use a pen style tattoo machine to tattoo on clients unless the grip is disposable or autoclavable. So where does using medical grade chemical disinfectants like Cavicide solution come into use? Cavicide solution states it is an exceptionally fast multi-purpose cleaner that sterilizes hard, non-porous surfaces in dental or clinical environments in 1 minute. Thanking you in advance for helping me understand what is what. 🙏poppy

@Tattooing101 2 года назад

Cold sterilization is not a perfectly effective way or sterilization also most health departments will make you mark and date your autoclave bags. This means if you don’t have an autoclave and have the grips trying to cold sterilize them the studio will be fined and shut down. There’s just too much that can go wrong with cold sterilization that’s why we wrap everything that can’t be sterilized and also clean it with the appropriate cleaner as well. I hope this helps man. Thanks for the great question.

@@Tattooing101 Thank you Brandon for your speedy reply. Unfortunately because apprenticeships are far and few between, many people like myself turn to being self taught by using what ever information can be found on the internet (which isn’t always correct). So than you for setting me straight!🙏poppy

@@Tattooing101hey can I get disposables with my Dragonhawk Fold3 Pen? I love this machine, it has 7 adjustable strokes and was in my price range starting out. Mine has a metal grip but I don't think the rest of the pen can be autoclaved and I honestly don't want to autoclave if it's that much of a pain. If mine doesn't have disposable grips can you tell me a pen machine that's under $130 (I got mine on Amazon because it has payments through affirm) but also has to have adjustable strokes. I can't afford multiple machines for shading/lining/color packing.

@@Tattooing101this is really useful, thanks! I’m wondering though - with the power wand, do you take apart the machine and clean the drive bar/motor and then re-lube it every time? Or is wiping down with disinfectant enough, without taking it all apart (providing I’m using disposables).

@ehdub13 Год назад

I love how I managed a veterinary surgical suite for 5 years and no one ever told me the autoclave could EXPLODE (I mean, I assumed that pressurized steam could I just never considered it. The Doc had me start the 'clave every night before we left)

@kristenbennett8495 8 месяцев назад

Yea that's scary as hell! When our autoclave techs came in initially for set up the literally showed all the staff in surgery an example of an autoclave exploding, it was wild. I will say as someone from the surgery department side of things very greatful to have the skills I learn at my job to use for tattooing!

stopped by this video after your other one. definitely helpful and ive been able to narrow down my question/concern which is how do you spot red flags in businesses that claim to have "sterile" supplies (like ink) and what do you do when you first get your stuff like new needles etc (besides stick it in the autoclave and light those jokers up) also are the roses in the background the ones you made in your other tutorials? its really cool

Hi, after a very long time i've decided to get into this beautiful world of tattoo. I've seen some of ur vids and get into the thing of disposable grips. Just bought a DragonHawk TZ560. Then, following ur usefull advices, i should use disposable grips, but, ¿where can i get 'em for this machine in specific?. Do you have any advice with this topic? Thanks for everything.

@jessicareeves5702 2 года назад

Hey Brandon! What do you say to people who refuse to wrap their wash bottles, citing they use a cleaning solution afterwards so they don’t need to wrap them? I recently found myself at the receiving end of quite a bit of backlash for saying it’s proper protocol to wrap the bottle beyond the cap. Any advice on that for fellow advice-givers?

@13thNemesis 2 года назад

I did this even when I was tattooing from home! It is just 1 bag and a pack of 600 costs like a couple of bucks.. sad..

@Tattooing101 2 года назад

Honestly the best advice I can give is to try to stay away from artists like this because being around them can give a bad name on you. It’s so easy to get the things to cover your equipment and cold sterilization isn’t a perfect thing. You have to let it sit and also everything needs to be covered perfectly. If you done that’s just gross lol

Hey Brandon, Can i use a high heat dry sterilization machine alongside madicide? If im cold sterilizing before and after use and completely wrapping with barrier film? The machine reaches 220° celcius. And also do i use sterilization bags with the dry sterilization machine? It was advertized as a autoclave but from what you are saying its not.

@princeofpersiagirl Год назад

I have a question. I was considered buying a small steam autoclave but i don't understand how the machine works. Do you just leave your supplies there on their own or do you put them in with vacuum bags? How does the whole thing work? Also, sometimes, I've seen, people use ultrasonic cleaner as well. Is that necessary?

For an acus that doesn’t have disposable grips, what way would you recommend to sterilize after a tattoo? Is it possible to sterilize it without using an autoclave?

@Tattooing101 Год назад

No there isn't, you will need an autoclave if you're not running a fully disposable setup. Some people might say that you can get away with just cold sterilisation but that is not true.

@eastsider7491 Год назад

Ok so then in other words it is necessary to autoclave everything after every session, even though I fully wrap it up correctly?
