Is there any way to clean and sterilize piercing clamps without an autoclave?
Dragodude91
No
To be considered sterilized the item needs to be washed to remove any matter that may be on it, this is best done with an ultra sonic cleaner. Then it needs to be placed inside a sterilization pouch and then autoclaved at 121 degrees Celsius and a pressure of no less than 15 PSI for 30 minutes. Anything less is a joke and could prove to be dangerous. The pressure and temperature are the only true means of killing bacteria and spores that can infect humans with HIV, Staph, Strep, Tetanus and a few other nasty critters.

How can you sterilize your piercing gun?
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.
