Tanning help!

Please don't go tanning! I've heard too many horror stories and I'm a germaphob! The stories I've read about the bacteria and the evil grossness that inhabits those places!

Plus, the skin cancer fear on top of all of that! When you have nice days like today, go to Sunken Meadow or a local beach and lay out for a while.

ok so this is a really dumb question I have NEVER gone tanning.....

so i wear a bikini and go onto a tanning bed and shut the door ..... is it a small tight space?

---

the tanning bed i use is a newer bed and it doesnt close the way the others do, it comes down a little but the sides are completely open and even the top has openings too, the bulbs are alot larger so it doesnt have to go right on top of you, you wont feel claustrophobic at all. I go in naked and most ppl i know do, alot of ppl like going tanning so they dont get tan lines which i suggest

The place i go to has that same bed and it is amazing- i love it, you get such great color from it, it is the best

ive had like 10 biopsies already for skin cancer - tanning is dangerous and you seriously get wrinkles....every single person i know who is a regular tanner has wrinkles and looks old - i think that they just dont realize it b/c tanning is so addicting i mean you arent going to get wrinkles from going a few times before the wedding - im talking about people who go the tanning salon a lot....b/c of my skin and family history of melanoma i dont go in the sun anymore - my epics, b pics and e party pics i have an airbrush tan - its worth trying - once you shower and wash it off it doesnt rub off on your clothes - at least for me it never has....

Hey Lindsey you can do a stand up if you don't like laying down in a bed. When I tan I just wear my thong.

If you buy some tanning lotion it will help you get bronze instead of burning. You can get $60 lotions on ebay for $20.

Here is my tanning progress. Pic taken on Saturday. I do have a little case of tanorexia!
