Description
The new El Cartel 2.0 tattoo cartridges are designed for tattoo artists who demand maximum precision , control , and safety , with a workflow that feels faster and more consistent. The 2.0 generation has been further developed based on real studio feedback and focuses on improvements you'll immediately notice while working: a better fit on your machine, more tip stability, faster cartridge changes, and faster recognition of the correct cartridge type.
What's new?
El Cartel 2.0 is now available in two taper variations , so you can perfectly tailor your choice to your technique and desired finish:
RLL = long taper – for extra precision, clean lines and detail work with controlled response.
RLM = medium taper – for a balanced, versatile performance with a stable, consistent flow.
For added security, the cartridges are equipped with a stronger diaphragm , designed to increase safety during tattooing and support more hygienic working practices. This provides greater confidence during long sessions and intensive studio use, where reliability is essential.
The cartridge housing has been redesigned to fit your machines even better. This makes inserting and removing cartridges easier and faster , and allows you to change them more efficiently while working. The improved fit also contributes to a more stable hand feel and greater control, especially when working at high speeds.
The needle tip has also been redesigned for a better fit, providing even greater stability during tattooing. Fewer micro-movements mean more consistent results, a cleaner finish, and greater confidence in precision work and details.
And that's not all: based on customer feedback, a color-coded identification system has been added for RL and RS cartridges . This makes it easier to recognize the correct type, select the right cartridge during the session, and reduce the chance of mix-ups. Fewer interruptions, more speed.
As a recognizable detail, the iconic octopus logo now appears on the cartridge housing. A clear signature of the revamped El Cartel 2.0 line, designed to impress with quality , functionality , and professional ease of use.
