Description
The El Cartel V2 Tattoo Cartridges 0.25 – 3RL Long Taper (10 pieces) are designed for tattoo artists who require extreme precision in fine lines, subtle outlines, and micro-details. This V2/2.0 generation has been optimized based on extensive field feedback and offers significant improvements in safety, fit, and stability. Featuring a 0.25 needle gauge and a 3 Round Liner (3RL) configuration with long taper (RLL) , these cartridges are ideal for fineline tattoos, detail work, micro-linework, and controlled ink release with minimal skin irritation.
WHAT'S NEW – EL CARTEL 2.0. The V2 cartridges are available in two taper types : RLL (long taper) and RLM (medium taper) . The long taper version has a longer and finer needle point, which ensures smoother penetration, higher precision, and more control for detailed line work. In addition, the cartridges are equipped with a reinforced membrane that provides extra safety during tattooing and effectively prevents 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 ensures stable operation, even during long sessions where detailed control is crucial. The needle tip is fixed more precisely, minimizing vibration and keeping your lines clean, consistent, and predictable.
FAST RECOGNITION IN YOUR WORKFLOW. Based on customer feedback, El Cartel is introducing a color-coded identification system for RL and RS cartridges . This allows you to quickly select the right cartridge and maintain an overview of your setup. The cartridge is finished with the recognizable octopus logo on the housing, a visual hallmark of 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 environment.
