Description
El Cartel Tattoo Cartridges 0.30 – 23 Soft Edge Magnum (10 count) are designed for tattoo artists who require maximum efficiency when working on larger areas without sacrificing control and smooth transitions. With a 0.30 needle gauge and a powerful 23 Soft Edge Magnum configuration, you can quickly work on shading, packing, and building even saturation, while the soft edge placement helps blend beautifully without harsh edges. El Cartel was founded to provide high-quality needles for the most demanding professionals – with consistent performance as standard.
QUALITY MATTERS. Thanks to new technology, high-quality materials, and stringent quality control, El Cartel has developed next-gen tattoo cartridges that run smoothly and feel predictable, even during intensive sessions. You'll benefit from consistent flow, reduced resistance, and a cartridge designed to remain reliable from the first to the last pass. The needles support smooth ink injection and stay sharp during long tattoo sessions, contributing to consistent results and less need for touch-ups.
SAFETY FIRST. For hygienic and safe working, El Cartel uses a flexible and durable membrane in its cartridges. This membrane helps prevent backflow and leakage of ink or blood back into the machine. This means a cleaner setup, extra protection for your grip and machine, and greater confidence during every session – essential in a professional studio.
The redesigned tube/tip shape is designed to hold more ink , allowing you to dip less often and work more efficiently. With larger shading areas and quick builds, you'll notice this immediately: you maintain a consistent rhythm, work faster, and stay focused on technique, pressure, and movement. This makes the 23 Soft Edge Magnum a strong choice for artists who want high coverage with a controlled, soft finish.
Each cartridge is sterilely packaged and has a shelf life of up to 5 years . They are compatible with all machines with a cartridge grip , allowing you to easily integrate them into virtually any professional tattoo setup.
