Description
The El Cartel V2 Tattoo Cartridges 0.25 – 5RL Long Taper (10 count) are designed for tattoo artists seeking precise, controlled, and refined line work with minimal skin irritation. This V2/2.0 generation has been further developed based on professional feedback and offers significant improvements in safety, stability, and precision. Featuring a 0.25 needle gauge and a 5 Round Liner (5RL) configuration with long taper (RLL), these cartridges are ideal for tight outlines, fineline tattoos, and detailed linework.
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 features a longer and finer needle point, which ensures controlled penetration, greater precision, and a softer impact on the skin. 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 completely redesigned to better fit a wide variety of tattoo machines. This makes insertion and removal easier and ensures stable operation, even during longer sessions. The needle tip is fixed more precisely, minimizing vibration and ensuring every line is drawn cleanly and predictably.
FAST RECOGNITION IN YOUR WORKFLOW. 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, increasing speed and clarity in your setup. The cartridge is finished with the recognizable octopus logo on the housing, a visual hallmark of the high-quality V2.
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.
