Description
The new El Cartel 2.0 tattoo cartridges are designed for tattoo artists who want maximum control , precision , and safety , with a faster, more consistent workflow. The 2.0 generation has been improved based on studio feedback and focuses on the details you'll truly notice while working: a better fit, more stability, easier cartridge changes, and faster cartridge selection.
What's new?
The El Cartel 2.0 is now available with two taper options , allowing you to 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 stable, consistent flow.
For added safety, the cartridges are equipped with a stronger diaphragm , designed to increase safety during tattooing and support more hygienic working practices. This provides added 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 , allows for more efficient on-the-job changes, and provides a better fit that contributes to a stable hand feel and greater control.
The needle tip has also been optimized and now fits better, providing even greater stability during setting. Fewer micro-movements mean more consistent work, cleaner line construction, and a more reliable end result – especially important for precision work and details.
Based on customer feedback, a color-coded identification system has also been added for RL and RS cartridges . This makes it easier to recognize the correct type, select the right cartridge during the session, and work more efficiently with less chance of mix-ups.
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 and functionality .
