Description
The new El Cartel 2.0 tattoo cartridges are the next step for tattoo artists who want maximum precision , control , and safety combined with a faster, smoother workflow. This 2.0 generation has been further developed based on studio experience and customer feedback and focuses on what truly matters: stable application, faster cartridge changes, and instantly identifying the correct cartridge – without hesitation, without wasting time.
What's new?
El Cartel 2.0 is now available with two taper options , so you can perfectly tailor your choice 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.
For added safety, the cartridges are equipped with a stronger membrane . This membrane was developed to increase safety during tattooing and supports more hygienic working, especially during long sessions and intensive 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 further optimized and now fits more securely, providing even greater stability during setting. Fewer unwanted micro-movements mean more consistent work, cleaner line formation, 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 selecting the right type faster, prevents confusion during the session, and keeps your workflow streamlined and efficient, even when using multiple configurations simultaneously.
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.
