Autoclaves, brah.
No you can't use rubbing alcohol to sterilize tattoo needles. Rubbing alcohol might disinfect the needles but sterilization for tattoo equipment is usually done with a "Steam Sterilizer (Autoclave)" which removes spores by applying heat and pressure to the equipment.
You really should not be reusing needles to tattoo someone. If you are going to though, the only way to properly sterilize them is by using an autoclave. An autoclave uses extreme pressure and heat to kill germs and bacteria.
Its better to just buy clean needles, but you can sterilize them yourself by boiling them in water for 10 minutes and then soaking them in rubbing alcohol for another 20 minutes
If you are unsure you should have them sterilized according to the local health board requirements. In fact you'll dispose of the needles or sterilize them in any event.
Tattoo needles do not "turn around", tattoo machines repeatedly pierce the skin with ink. Different needles are used for coloring, and outlining. The Needles used for outlining are thinner than the needles used for coloring.

They are for fine lines and detail that's in the tattoo you can also use this needle to do awhole tattoo for lines and shading without changing needles
probably.
Boiling cannot sterilize scissors but heating at temperatures above the boiling point of water in an autoclaving (121oC) would sterilize scissors after 15-20 minutes.
Gerard Way does not have a tattoo. He is deathly afraid of needles.
if their needles aren't clean it will.
