Description
EL CARTEL RS 0.25 mm – subtle shading and soft colour distribution
EL CARTEL cartridges are professional tattoo equipment used by demanding artists across Europe. The company was founded to supply high-quality needles, and strict quality control and new manufacturing technologies ensure consistent results in every pack.
The RS-type cartridge with a 0.25 mm diameter is designed for subtle shading and light colour fill. Thin needles in a round configuration produce soft, controlled strokes that are especially effective for smooth transitions or smaller, detailed areas. For artists working in realism or portraiture, this diameter keeps precision even in small areas.
The elastic, durable silicone membrane prevents ink or blood from leaking into the machine – reducing cleaning time between clients and meeting hygiene requirements in a professional working environment.
The new tube shape holds more ink, so you need fewer stops during work – greater efficiency over longer sessions. High-quality materials ensure smooth ink insertion, and the needles stay sharp throughout use.
