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 . Thanks to the linear needle configuration (soldered side by side in a flat style ), the 3RLX delivers an extremely stable and predictable print. This is exactly what you need for techniques such as dotwork , stippling , tight linework , and geometric designs , where consistency, rhythm, and repeatability make the difference between "good" and truly professional.
The power of 3RLX lies in its combination of speed and control: you place dots uniformly, build textures evenly, and create bold lines with controlled pressure distribution. This allows you to work more efficiently and achieve perfect coverage and saturation faster, with fewer corrections and a smoother workflow. Ideal for mandalas, geometric patterns, and larger areas you want to shade with dots.

Are El Cartel 3RLX cartridges suitable for professional use?
Yes, they are designed for professional tattoo artists who need consistent performance and technical precision.
What does a linear (flat) needle configuration mean?
The needles are arranged in a straight line next to each other. This provides greater stability, a predictable print, and controlled construction for dots, textures, and line work.
Which techniques is the 3RLX best suited for?
For dotwork, stippling, linework, mandalas, geometric designs and shading/building up larger areas with dots.
What is the difference between 3RLX3, 3RLX4, 3RLX5 and 3RLX6?
The difference is the number of needles in a line. More needles generally gives more coverage and a broader print; fewer needles gives more finesse.
Will the 3RLX fit my pen machine or cartridge grip?
In most cases, yes: the 3RLX cartridges are compatible with most pen-style machines and standard cartridge grips.
Is the 3RLX suitable for large dotwork surfaces?
Yes, the linear layout is very efficient for large areas: you place dots faster and more consistently with good coverage and saturation.
Do the needles stay sharp during longer sessions?
Yes, the high-quality construction ensures the needles remain sharp and stable during intensive use.
Does the cartridge have a membrane for safe working?
Yes, the 3RLX cartridges have a stable membrane that contributes to hygienic and safe working.
Which variant do I choose for fine details versus more coverage?
For more finesse, a 3RLX3 is often chosen. For more coverage and speed, a 3RLX5 or 3RLX6 are usually more practical, depending on your technique.
Why do tattoo artists choose El Cartel 3RLX?
Because the 3RLX combines control, stability, speed and professional quality for technical and detail-oriented tattoo work.
