Description
El Cartel Tattoo Cartridges 0.30 – 21 Soft Edge Magnum LT (10 count) are designed for tattoo artists who want to work efficiently on larger surfaces, with maximum control over soft transitions and consistent flow. The combination of a 0.30 needle size and 21 Soft Edge Magnum LT makes these cartridges particularly suitable for shading, smooth blends, and even layering. El Cartel was founded to provide high-quality needles for the most demanding professionals, with reliability and performance at their core.
QUALITY MATTERS. By utilizing new technology, high-quality materials, and rigorous quality control, El Cartel has created next-gen tattoo cartridges that run smoothly and feel predictable—even during long sessions. You'll experience less resistance, a more consistent flow, and a cartridge that helps you work consistently without unnecessary interruptions. The needles support smooth ink injection and stay sharp during intensive use, contributing to a cleaner finish and greater workflow efficiency.
SAFETY FIRST. For safety and hygiene, El Cartel uses a durable, elastic membrane in its cartridges. This membrane helps prevent backflow and leakage of ink or blood back into the machine. In practice, this means a cleaner setup, extra protection for your grip and machine, and greater confidence during every session – exactly what you expect in a professional studio.
The redesigned tube/tip shape is designed to store more ink , reducing dips and improving your flow. This delivers immediate benefits, especially with larger shading areas or multiple passes: you'll work more consistently, faster, and with greater focus on technique and detail. The LT (Long Taper) characteristic supports a controlled flow, ideal for smooth blending and subtle gradations.
Each cartridge is sterilely packaged and has a shelf life of up to 5 years . They work with all machines equipped with a cartridge grip , allowing you to easily integrate them into virtually any professional tattoo setup.
