How many people go tanning?  I go every week.  This week i took a break so i could get in the sun, and recently i inherited 10,000 dollars so i'm going to buy a tanning bed and put it in my basement.  They say its bad for you and that may be true but tans are good.

I would be much too worried about melenoma, personally. As for me, my skin is extremely white and pale - sallow is probably a more interesting word in this case. Though that is probably a little to do with me always lacking sleep, it has a way of making one somewhat gaunt and pale.

The Technology is amazing though, even though Melanoma is a possible threat as well as other cancers.  But still,  I think tanning is cool.  The best feeling is when inside a tanning bed and you fall asleep... then wake up its crazy.  Stand-Up Tanning Booths are cool, but are also terrible, two fans above and below blowing HOT air to you, could cause you to collapse in there, but works better than the bed.  Outside tanning makes you feel the best though because the warm sunlight.  

Especially goin surfing, you get major tans :)

If I were to get a tan, I'd want a cool one...Like...Some kind of...I dunno...How about a moon tan? That sounds awesome even if it'd be no different than a regular tan...Just so you could tell people it was a moon tan.

Either that, or there should be an opposite kind of tanning salon that makes you extremely pale.

There is.  It's called a mausoleum.

I don't think that's how that works exactly...

Just don't go outside. You'll get as pale as you can get within a year.

That reminds me.  Why is Vincent from FF7 not whiter than Eminem?  He sleeps in a friggin' coffin in the basement of a mansion with all kinds of crazy monsters and stuff and a mad science lab right next door.

Lol more about "paling" than tanning.  Actually thats odd, ever since i moved to America when i was seven, i've become more pale.  I'm actually naturally tan, sort of anyway.  I have good skin for tans, but in where i live it snows for days even weeks on end, and i stay inside in the dark so much.  Thats why i love summer.  I can go out with all my friend to the beach and just hang with the sun.  But then again I love the night, clubbing and being outside at night so that could also contribute, or not?

I might look into light spray atomized type stuff. As it is I'm a little on the fair side so its harder for me to tan, but when its done, its there for a loong time. I have to consistently go out about a week though to get it to sink in.

There are products that can definately help, there's tanning sprays, tanning accelerators, and tanning-sunblock combinations.  Products get a little messy but you can get a good tan if you blend it in and keep it moisturized.  

Also if anyone is peeling, Baby Oil and Aloe Vera 3 times a day will help stop the peeling :)
