You ladies sound kind of dumb when you are defending how tanning beds are so great, prevent you from burning, have a base for tanning down south, that it’s safer than the sun, etc That’s such a load of crap. Tanning beds thin your skin and your skin gets dark because it’s damaged cells you idiots….read the facts people- 50% of people will get skin cancer by the time they reach 65. If you go to a tanning bed ONCE a MONTH, you increase your chances of developping melanoma by 55%! Where were you in the last decade when the warnings came out? Here’s to you looking like an wrinnkled old leather bag by the time you are 40.

Yeah, these people are so defensive about it… Just like the smokers. In fact, the tanners are probably smokers too. Let them live a rotten life (if they live long enough) with holes in their face where they had their skin cancer removed. They sound, and look like idiots.
I was just about to say you could say the same thing to the smokers. Stop trying to defend yourself. But I will say at least tanning doesn’t put anyone else at risk except yourself.
I think people look silly when they have a dark tan in November or December.. HA! It’s winter people, get used to it!All year round, my skin is usually looking rather pasty.. LoL… its not intentional, But I’m not one to go lay in the sun, or hit a tanning bed.. I’m happy the way I am… And not wanting to look like an old piece of leather when I get older, plus, having that threat of skin cancer looming in the back of my head, keeps me inside :)ps.. Cancer fucking sucks!
I hate it when people tell me I’m so pale and I need to go tanning or “get out in the sun,” cause everyone loves sunbathing in the middle of the winter. So I can look like I just went to “the Dominican” or like I’m frigging lindsay lohan or something? No thanks.
