Description
El Cartel Tattoo Cartridges 0.35 – 5 Soft Edge Magnum (10 count) are designed for tattoo artists who want maximum control for subtle shading, smooth transitions, and precise builds. This configuration is ideal for working in smaller areas and seeking a cartridge that feels predictable, runs smoothly, and delivers consistent flow. El Cartel was founded to provide high-quality needles for the most demanding professionals, with a clear focus on performance, safety, and reliability.
QUALITY MATTERS. Using new technology, premium materials, and rigorous quality control, El Cartel developed next-gen tattoo cartridges that maintain consistent performance even after intensive use. Their construction is designed to run smoothly, with a stable needle position and consistent flow. The needles support smooth ink injection and stay sharp during long sessions, allowing you to work with control, fewer interruptions, and a cleaner finish.
SAFETY FIRST. For hygiene and safety, the cartridges are equipped with an elastic and durable membrane . 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 while working – exactly what you want in a professional studio.
The redesigned tube/tip shape helps you hold more ink . This increases your efficiency and rhythm: less dipping, more consistent work, and more focus on technique. You'll especially notice the benefits when shading and building layers, as your workflow remains stable and you can more easily create smooth, even blends.
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 , making them easy to use in virtually any professional tattoo setup.
