Description
EL CARTEL RS 0.35 mm - strong saturation and smooth shading
A cartridge 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 artists. Thanks to new technology, high-quality materials and very strict quality control, EL CARTEL has created a new generation of tattoo cartridges used by professionals across Europe.
For safety and hygiene, EL CARTEL uses elastic, durable silicone membranes - they protect the machine from ink or blood backflow and help keep the working environment clean between clients. The new tube shape helps hold more ink, so the artist interrupts the work less often to refill - especially important for larger projects. Thanks to high-quality materials, the needles ensure smooth ink delivery and stay sharp throughout the session.
All cartridges are sterile with a shelf life of up to 5 years - a practical solution for studios that buy in larger quantities and want to optimise stock. The cartridges work with any machine, making them suitable for artists using different equipment.
