Can you use a ultrasonic jewelry cleaner for tattoo equipment?

Yes and in most cities an ultrasonic cleaner is a required piece of equipment for any tattoo studio. The ultrasonic waves in the solution break down and loosen the pigments inside the needle tips, tubes and grips. This is the first stage in cleaning the equipment before it's packaged and autoclaved** ( **sterilized). The needles should be single use and must be removed from the needle bars in front of the client, the used needles are thrown into an approved Sharpes container, the needle bars can be run in the ultrasonic, cleaned, sterilized and used to build new needle sets later built from brand new needles.

What is ultrasonic cleaner for tattoo guns?
the best way is always bag your machine.... but when the need arises and sometimes it does, the best way is a 60/40 bleach mixture 60 parts water 40 bleach this will however over time lead to rust and the bleach will leave deposits on your machine so an extra good wipedown will help prevent this. you can also do bleach wash then alcohol rub down. hope this helps
Can you reuse your tattoo needles?
I wouldn't reuse tattoo needles due to risk of spreading infections or diseases, even if an ultrasonic cleaner is being used. It's just not worth the risk for how little you have to pay for needles. You can pay about 12 dollars for around 50 needles of your choosing on most websites.

How do you know if a tattoo place is clean?
Your general impression of the place is a good place to start. Past that, ask them if they have an autoclave. This is the machine that sterilizes needles, jewelry, equipment, etc. If they do not have one, chances are it's a pretty shady establishment. But having an autoclave does not a clean tattoo make. The place should not smell like anything but Bactine, ink, and surface cleaner. Surfaces should be uncluttered, dust-free, and smooth. I've said this in other posts, and I'll say it many more I'm sure: A tattoo is a wound. It should be treated like a wound. A tattoo parlor, then, should be as clean as a doctor's office.
