New tattoo cartridges El Cartel 2.0
The El Cartel 2.0 tattoo cartridges are designed for artists who refuse to compromise: sharper lines , more stable work , and a cartridge that performs even better in your machine. This new generation has been further developed based on feedback from the field and is designed to make your workflow faster, safer, and more consistent—whether you're running long sessions, doing detailed work, or need speed in your setup.
What's new in El Cartel 2.0?
2 types of taper
RLL = long taper
RLM = medium taper
In addition to the taper selection, the cartridge is now equipped with a stronger diaphragm , which provides extra safety while tattooing and helps keep operation more stable. The cartridge housing has been redesigned to fit various machines even better and make cartridges easier to insert and remove . The needle tip also fits more securely, giving you more stability while working – exactly what you need for clean lines and controlled movements.
And because speed and clarity count in a busy session, there's now a color-coded identification system for RL and RS cartridges. This way, you can quickly grab the right cartridge without hesitation or wasted time. As a finishing touch, you'll find the recognizable octopus logo on the cartridge housing – a detail that demonstrates this is a thoughtful upgrade, both inside and out.
