Description
The new El Cartel 2.0 tattoo cartridges are designed for tattoo artists who demand maximum control , precision , and safety , with a faster and more consistent workflow. The 2.0 generation has been further developed based on practical experience and customer feedback, focusing on what truly matters in the studio: stable operation, quick cartridge changes, and instant recognition of the correct cartridge.
What's new?
El Cartel 2.0 introduces two taper options so you can tailor the performance to your technique and style:
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 now feature a stronger membrane . This is designed to increase safety during tattooing and supports more hygienic working, especially during longer sessions and intensive use where reliability is essential.
The cartridge housing has been redesigned to fit your machines even better. This makes cartridges easier to insert and remove , changes are faster while working, and you benefit from a better fit that contributes to a stable hand feel.
The needle tip has also been improved and now fits more securely, providing even greater stability during setting. Fewer unwanted micro-movements mean more control, more consistent results, and a cleaner finish, especially for precision work and line building.
Based on customer feedback, a color-coded identification system has been added for RL and RS cartridges . This makes selecting the right type faster, avoids confusion during the session, and keeps your workflow smooth and efficient.
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.
