Dermalize Total Black adds complete UV protection thanks to its opaque black layer that blocks 100% of solar radiation. Dermalize Pro is transparent and does not offer UV protection. Otherwise, both products share the same properties: medical polyurethane, oxygen permeability, hypoallergenic adhesive, and water resistance. Choose Total Black when sun exposure is unavoidable.

No, the Total Black film is completely opaque and does not allow viewing the tattoo through it. This is an intentional design consequence that ensures total UV protection. To monitor the healing process, the film must be removed. If you want to check the tattoo's condition, do so when changing the film according to the artist's recommended schedule.

Total Black is recommended during summer or whenever the client cannot avoid sun exposure. It is ideal for tattoos on frequently exposed areas such as forearms, shins, neck, or hands. It is also the optimal choice for clients who work outdoors or travel to sunny destinations shortly after the tattoo session.

No, the black color is integrated into the polyurethane material structure and does not transfer to clothing or bedding. The film is chromatically stable and does not release pigment. However, normal exudate under the film (plasma and ink) can stain clothing if the film is removed or if edges lift, just as with transparent variants.

The black color may absorb more heat during direct and prolonged sun exposure, but due to the extremely thin film thickness, the temperature difference at skin level is minimal. In situations of intense and prolonged sun exposure, also cover the area with a layer of clothing over the film for optimal thermal comfort and additional protection.

Yes, the opaque layer of Dermalize Total Black blocks both UVA and UVB radiation. UVA rays are responsible for premature skin aging and pigment fading, while UVB rays cause sunburn. Complete protection against both types of radiation is essential for preserving pigment integrity during the critical healing period.

Application is identical to Dermalize Pro: clean and dry the tattooed area, cut the film to the required size with 2-3 cm margin, remove the backing, apply from one end smoothing to eliminate air bubbles, then remove the top layer. Since the film is opaque, ensure correct positioning from the start, as you will not be able to see the tattoo through the film.

Dermalize Total Black is slightly more expensive than Dermalize Pro due to the additional UV-blocking technology incorporated into the polyurethane material. The price difference is justified by the additional UV protection that can prevent pigment fading and the need for subsequent touch-ups. For tattoos on sun-exposed areas, the additional investment is fully justified.

Yes, Total Black can be used in any season. Even in winter, UV rays are present and can affect tattooed skin, especially in snowy areas that reflect solar radiation or at high altitudes. Total Black usage is not limited to warm seasons, although maximum benefit is achieved during periods of increased sun exposure.

Dermalize Total Black is primarily available in roll format for professional studio use. For pre-cut variants or smaller formats, check availability on tatuat.ro or contact the supplier. The 10-meter roll is the most economical and flexible format, allowing cutting to any size needed for each individual client.
