Sorry but you guys are acting like women about this. Not you Drevil. Like Bizarro said, a topical sterilant will do just fine. You've taken blood born pathogens training I'll assume so you should know that this shit works just fine. It's used in hospitals. And like he said, if you don't like it, then autoclave them. A 20 minute cycle is no more time than getting a drawing prepped, stenciled and you set up. I have been using ONE just fine now for weeks but I also only tattoo one large piece a day. And I'm getting a few more soon just because I want to autoclave them. It's not complicated.
