Description
EL CARTEL 9RS cartridges are a reliable choice for tattoo artists who need precise shading and steady performance during long sessions.
EL CARTEL was founded to supply high-quality needles to the most demanding tattoo artists. Thanks to new technologies, high-grade materials and strict quality control, EL CARTEL has created a new generation of cartridges trusted by professionals across Europe.
The flexible silicone membrane prevents ink or blood from getting into the machine, protecting the equipment from contamination and meeting the hygiene requirements of a professional studio. The improved tube shape holds more ink while working, so the session needs to be paused less often for refilling - saving time and keeping up the working rhythm. High-grade materials keep the needles sharp throughout the procedure and ensure even ink injection.
All cartridges are sterile and individually packed - ready to use straight away, with a shelf life of up to 5 years. They work with any pen-style machine and many grips, so they are easy to integrate into existing studio equipment without extra costs.
