Description
The El Cartel V2 Tattoo Cartridges 0.25-5RS (pack of 10) are designed for tattoo artists who demand ultimate precision in fine shading, smooth transitions, and controlled color distribution in small areas. This V2/2.0 generation was developed based on extensive feedback from professionals and offers significant improvements in safety, stability, and ease of use. With a 0.25 needle gauge and a compact 5 Round Shader (RS) configuration, these cartridges are ideal for detailed shading and refined blends.
WHAT'S NEW – EL CARTEL 2.0. The V2 cartridges feature two taper types : RLL (long taper) and RLM (medium taper) . This allows you to fine-tune ink delivery and response to your technique, skin type, and desired intensity. The cartridges also feature a reinforced membrane for added safety during tattooing and to prevent backflow into the machine.
IMPROVED FIT & STABILITY. The cartridge housing has been redesigned to fit various machines even better. This makes insertion and removal easier and ensures stable operation, even during longer sessions. The needle tip has also been improved for a tighter fit, resulting in less vibration, greater control, and a consistent workflow.
FAST RECOGNITION IN THE WORKFLOW. Based on user feedback, El Cartel introduces a color-coded identification system for RL and RS cartridges . This allows you to instantly recognize the correct type, increasing speed and clarity in 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 virtually any professional tattoo setup.
