I don't know if it's a ritual, really, but I wipe off whatever I'm going to use to brand myself (bobby pins, usually) before I use them. I make sure that I have bandages and anti-septic burn treatment cream (whatever the brand is called), and I make sure that I wash and treat the wounds once I'm done. I may SI, but I'm not so stupid as to invite infections.
