Description
El Cartel 3RLX – precision and power in one sleek line
Models: 3RLX3 / 3RLX4 / 3RLX5 / 3RLX6
The El Cartel 3RLX cartridges are the perfect tool for tattoo artists who demand maximum control , precision , and speed . Thanks to the linear needle configuration , where the needles are soldered next to each other (flat style) , you can work with an extremely stable and predictable print. This makes these cartridges ideal for dotwork , stippling , tight linework , and technical geometric designs , where consistency and repeatability are crucial.
The linear design distributes pressure evenly across the skin, allowing you to work more smoothly and efficiently than with traditional round liners. You place dots faster and more consistently, achieve better coverage and saturation, and need fewer corrections during the process. This results in a noticeably smoother finish, especially with mandalas, geometric patterns, and larger areas built up with dots.

Are El Cartel 3RLX cartridges suitable for professional use?
Yes, these cartridges are designed for professional tattoo artists who demand high levels of control, precision, and consistent performance.
What is the advantage of a linear (flat) needle configuration?
The needles are arranged in a straight line next to each other, which provides greater stability, a predictable print and controlled build-up of dots, textures and line work.
Which techniques is the 3RLX best suited for?
For dotwork, stippling, linework, mandalas, geometric designs and building up larger surfaces with dots.
What is the difference between 3RLX3, 3RLX4, 3RLX5 and 3RLX6?
The difference lies in the number of needles in a line. More needles provide more coverage and a wider print, while fewer needles offer greater finesse.
Will the 3RLX fit my pen-style machine or cartridge grip?
Yes, the 3RLX cartridges are compatible with most pen-style tattoo machines and standard cartridge grips.
Why is the 3RLX particularly suitable for dotwork?
Because you place dots faster and more consistently, with better coverage and saturation in fewer passes.
Do the needles remain stable and sharp during longer sessions?
Yes, thanks to the high-quality materials and construction, the needles remain sharp and stable, even with intensive use.
Which variant do I choose for fine details and which for more coverage?
For fine detail, the 3RLX3 is a good choice. For more coverage and speed, the 3RLX5 or 3RLX6 are often more suitable, depending on your technique.
