Description
The El Cartel V2 Tattoo Cartridges 0.18 – 3RL Long Taper (10 pieces) are designed for tattoo artists who require absolute precision in ultra-fine linework and micro-details. This V2/2.0 generation is based on extensive practical feedback and combines maximum control with improved safety and stability. With an extremely fine 0.18 needle gauge and a 3 Round Liner (3RL) configuration with long taper (RLL) , these cartridges are ideal for hairlines, fine line tattoos, mini-details, and subtle accents.
WHAT'S NEW – EL CARTEL 2.0. The V2 cartridges are available in two taper versions : RLL (long taper) and RLM (medium taper) . The long taper version offers maximum finesse and controlled, even ink flow, resulting in extremely sharp lines with minimal skin irritation. Furthermore, the cartridges are equipped with a reinforced membrane that provides additional safety during tattooing and helps prevent ink or blood from flowing back toward the machine.
IMPROVED FIT & STABILITY. The cartridge housing has been redesigned to better fit a wide variety of tattoo machines. This simplifies insertion and removal and guarantees stable operation, even during prolonged, highly precise work. The needle tip is fixed more precisely, ensuring minimal vibration, maximum control, and predictable results.
FAST RECOGNITION IN SETUP. Based on feedback from professionals, El Cartel introduces a color-coded identification system for RL and RS cartridges . This allows you to instantly recognize the correct cartridge type while working. The cartridge is finished with the distinctive octopus logo on the housing, a visual testament to V2 quality.
All cartridges are sterilely packaged and have a shelf life of up to 5 years . They are compatible with all machines with a cartridge grip , making them easy to use in any professional tattoo setup.
