Description
EL CARTEL RS 0.35 mm - strong saturation and smooth shading
A cartridge made for professional tattoo artists that meets the demands of intensive studio work. EL CARTEL was founded to supply high-quality needles to the most demanding professionals. Thanks to new technologies, high-grade materials and strict quality control, these cartridges deliver consistent results session after session.
The flexible, durable silicone membrane protects the machine from ink or blood leaking in - meaning a cleaner workstation and a longer machine service life. The new tube shape holds more ink, so work has to be stopped for refilling less often and larger areas are covered faster. High-grade materials guarantee smooth ink injection and the needles stay sharp throughout the procedure - no extra pressure, no unevenness.
All cartridges are supplied sterile with a shelf life of up to 5 years - suitable for both everyday use and reserve storage. Compatible with any machine, so these cartridges suit artists working with different pen-style systems.

Frequently asked questions
What is the 14RS (Round Shader) cartridge for?
RS is a round needle configuration for shading and fill, not for outlines. The 14RS 0.35 mm suits deep shading and soft black & grey styles, colour fill, faster coverage of medium and larger areas, highlights and colour blending.
What makes the 0.35 mm diameter special for shading?
The thicker needle gives more intense colour saturation and reduces the number of passes needed when covering larger areas.
Will these cartridges fit my machine?
According to the manufacturer, the cartridges are compatible with most pen-style machines and grips, so there is no need to replace your existing equipment. The protective membrane prevents ink and blood from getting into the machine.
How many cartridges are in a pack and how long can they be stored?
Each pack contains 10 sterile cartridges with a shelf life of up to 5 years, so a studio can buy a larger quantity to keep in stock.
Can I see the ink level while working?
Yes, the housing is transparent: you can see the needle movement and the ink flow, so the ink level can be checked without stopping the procedure. The tube shape holds more ink, so refilling is needed less often.
