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.

Why is tattooing out of the home illegal in Indiana?

Tattooing out of the home is illegal mainly because of sanitation risks. If someone is just tattooing out of their home, there's no real way to make sure that they're taking proper health precautions. Tattoo artists in shops are generally required to wear gloves, face masks in some places, sterilize their equipment, dispose of used needles in special bio-hazard containers, sterilize any and all work surfaces after every customer, etc. Someone tattooing out of their home probably isn't going to do all of the things I listed above.
