Description
El Cartel 3RLX – precision and power in one sleek line
Models: 3RLX3 / 3RLX4 / 3RLX5 / 3RLX6
The El Cartel 3RLX cartridges are designed for tattoo artists who demand maximum control , precision , and speed in every stroke. With a linear needle configuration (soldered side by side in a flat style ), you can work with an extremely stable, predictable print. Ideal for techniques where consistency is key: dotwork , stippling , tight linework , and detailed geometric designs .
The power of 3RLX lies in its linear layout: you distribute pressure more evenly, place dots faster and more consistently, and build textures with more rhythm. This allows you to achieve better coverage and saturation in fewer passes, with fewer corrections and a more efficient workflow. You'll immediately notice the difference, especially with mandalas, geometric patterns, and larger dotwork surfaces.

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 gives more coverage and a wider print; fewer needles offers more finesse.
Does the 3RLX fit pen-style machines and cartridge grips?

Why is the 3RLX so strong for dotwork?
Because you place dots faster and more consistently, with better coverage and saturation in fewer passes.
Is the 3RLX also suitable for straight lines?
Yes, the linear setup allows for clean and bold linework, where you can adjust width and impact with the chosen variant.
Does the cartridge have a membrane for safe working?
Yes, each 3RLX cartridge has a stable membrane that contributes to hygienic and safe tattooing.
Which variant do I choose for fine details?
For more finesse, 3RLX3 is often a logical choice; for more coverage and tempo, 3RLX5 or 3RLX6 are usually more practical.
