Description
The new El Cartel 2.0 tattoo cartridges are designed for tattoo artists who demand maximum precision , control , and safety , with a faster, smoother workflow. Developed based on real-world experience and customer feedback, the 2.0 generation features targeted improvements in fit, stability, and recognizability.

What's new?
El Cartel 2.0 introduces two taper options , allowing you to fine-tune the cartridge to your technique and desired finish:
RLL = long taper – for extra accuracy, clean lines and detail work with controlled response.
RLM = medium taper – for a balanced, versatile performance with stable, consistent flow.
The cartridges are now equipped with a stronger diaphragm designed to increase safety during tattooing and support more hygienic working. This provides extra security during long sessions and intensive studio use, where reliability is paramount.
The cartridge housing has also been redesigned to fit your machines even better. This makes inserting and removing cartridges easier and faster . Less hassle during changes means a more streamlined workflow, especially if you frequently change configurations while working.
The needle tip has also been improved and now fits better, giving you even more stability while setting. This helps you work more consistently, with fewer unwanted micro-movements and a cleaner finish – especially noticeable when working with precision, line construction, and controlled details.
Based on customer feedback, a color-coded identification system has been added for RL and RS cartridges . This makes choosing the right cartridge faster, prevents confusion during the session, and keeps your pace high without sacrificing accuracy.
As a recognizable detail, the iconic octopus logo is now visible on the cartridge housing. A clear signature of the updated 2.0 line, designed to impress with quality , functionality , and professional ease of use.
