Association of Professional piercers is an international non-profit organization dedicated to the dissemination of vital health and safety information about body piercing to piercers, vårdpersonal, lagstiftare, och allmänheten. Socially and legislatively, body piercing is situated within the greater body modification community. As a result, we recognize that our role extends beyond the discipline of body piercing. Our position on body art practices such as tattooing, cosmetic tattooing, branding, scarification, suspension, and other forms of body modification is as follows:

Effects of Non-Condensable Gases (NCGs) on Steam Sterilisation Processes

“A study conducted by Prof. von Eiff of University of Münster in hospitals in North Rhine Westphalia and Lower Saxony revealed that, in particular, 40% of hollow instruments released for use were not sterile (4). One reason for such problems is that the classic biological and/or well-integrated chemical indicators can attest to the sterility of supplies only at those locations at which they are positioned. But in general these indicators cannot be placed at those sites within the instrument which are most difficult to access, hence the established practice of using such indicators is not suitable for providing insights into the sterility of lumened devices.”

My articles at http://jewelry.piercing.org/ and http://brnskll.com/shares/titanium-standards-why-not-g23/ explain that the two most effective Titanium standards are alloyed ASTM F136 and pure ASTM F67, the most common being the former as it is stronger, harder and easier to polish. Both are used for permanent surgical implants.

Sharpies för märkning

“De flesta Sharpies har inte validerats för industriell användning eller för användning i villkor som sterilisering. Det finns ett par Sharpie markörer som överensstämmer med ASTM standard D4236 vilket innebär att produkten har utvärderats av en toxicologist för akut och kronisk toxicitet och säkerhetsdatabladet (SDS) identifierar ingredienser som presenterar alla kroniska hälsorisker, med säker användning instruktioner. De pennor som bär AP tätning med notationen “uppfyller ASTM D4236″ (se höger) är de markörer som kan användas för att märka dina paket.”
