Description
El Cartel Tattoo Cartridges 0.30 – 5 Soft Edge Magnum (10 count) are designed for tattoo artists who demand maximum precision for subtle shading, smooth transitions, and controlled builds in smaller areas. With a 0.30 needle gauge and a compact 5 Soft Edge Magnum configuration, you can work with precision and predictability, ideal for detailed blending without harsh edges. El Cartel was founded on providing high-quality needles for the most demanding professionals, built on consistent performance.
QUALITY MATTERS. Thanks to new technology, high-quality materials, and strict quality control, El Cartel has developed next-gen tattoo cartridges that run smoothly and feel consistent, even during extended sessions. The cartridges support smooth ink injection and help you maintain a consistent flow. The needles stay sharp during long tattoo sessions, resulting in cleaner results and less need for touch-ups.
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 in any professional studio environment.
The redesigned tube/tip shape is designed to hold more ink , allowing you to dip less often and work more efficiently. You'll immediately notice the benefits, especially when shading and building soft gradations: you maintain your rhythm and can fully focus on movement, pressure, and transition. The soft edge placement supports smooth blending , so your shading looks softer and more professional.
All cartridges are sterilely packaged and have 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.
