How can you sterilize your piercing gun?

Answer 1

You cannot adequately sterilize these guns in an autoclave, and more so than that, they are VERY ill advisable to use in the instance of ear piercing. The reason for this aside from the obvious sterility issues are the amount of blunt force trauma that they do to the lobe (and ESPECIALLY cartilage), and also that the studs that these fire out are one common length, which completely works against the fresh piercing when the area swells and will greatly double the chance that the piercing will be a failure. You should really consider switching over to more of a body piercing set up; tri-beveled piercing needles, clamps, and good implant grade jewelry.
