Description
The new El Cartel 2.0 tattoo cartridges are designed for tattoo artists who demand maximum control , precision , and safety , with a faster, more consistent workflow. This updated 2.0 generation is optimized based on studio feedback and addresses precisely the points you'll immediately notice during tattooing: a better fit, greater stability, faster cartridge changes, and faster cartridge selection.
What's new?
El Cartel 2.0 is now available with two taper options , allowing you to better tailor your cartridges 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 security, the cartridges are now 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 while working. Fewer micro-movements mean more consistent results, sharper line construction, 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 and select the right cartridge during the session. Fewer mix-ups, fewer interruptions, and more speed without compromising accuracy.
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.
