@KimBa026 I got kicked out of a tanning salon recently. I should've know there'd be trouble when they gave me dirty looks for bringing a porno magazine in the booth. 5 minutes later, they opened the booth and it looked like a Twinkie exploded inside. Hey, I should be able to do what I want with my fucking 5 minutes, right??!!

tanning does cause cancer if you do it to much but if you do it like 2 or 3 times a week you will get that perfect darkness and lower your risk of cancer :)

Tanning begs..... Yes you'll have a lovely tan, but you'll also have a lovely Melanoma to go with it

You know guys, no one should refer to a tanning both just because you're too lazy to go to the beach or because you don't like the sand. Tanning booths are dangerous, because you're actually get tanned from artificial UV rays. There is NOTHING better then get tanned by the natural and pure sun. The sun actually provides your body with vitamin D, the tanning booth does not. The sun should ALWAYS be a better choice then a tanning booth.

@ladiplecharry People who ride on motorcycles have a higher chance of getting into a deadly accident than people who don't so why do people bother riding them? People who are obese have a higher chance of getting a heart attack so why do they keep eating? People who swim without life vest have a higher chance of drowning than people who swim with a life vest. I would rather take risks and enjoy my life than be safe, look bad, and do nothing with my life.

@SoldierCyfix Some people look better with a tan. If I showed you the difference between how I look now and how I looked before I started tanning you'd understand why people go tanning. I have to admit that some people look better pale, but I'm not one of them.

@ameliaanstessx As long as you have your parents permission and money, you can. I am lucky and have a tanning bed at my house. I started when I was 13. I only recommend 2-3 days a week though, because if anymore you have a way higher risk of skin cancer than you do as you go in the first place.
