This is when my blood starts to boil a bit -
First of all, you have to sterilize the tube/grip BEFORE you tattoo, not just after. There is a lot to cleaning and sterilizing afterwards.
You say you are not going to work on anyone else but who would spend literally thousands of dollars to get it RIGHT and not try to make some money back on it?
Check with your local health department for requirements, get some cheap disposable tubes and needles that are pre-sterilized - at least that is safer.
Without proper training you will never learn how to clean and sterilize properly, so forget that part - get an apprenticeship.

Small Sterilizer $300...$600
Just got a new Speedclave
for the shop $2500...
Back in the day, guys use to
boil everything. Not for
nothing, but anything that
has not been sterilized, is the
main cause for infections.
Read, Learn, Use it right!!!

steam them usually they use a auto clave in tattoo parlor's so I imagine you could get a big steaming pot like for steaming vegis.

There are some good and inexpensive
sterilizers out there....hell, a couple of
tats could pay that off real quick.
Since your just starting, I would recommend in saving half of what you
make, for buying some "good gear".
Have you tried Ebay?
Do you have a pressure cooker?
