I just started going tanning regularly so I'll be tan for my trip in a few weeks. I've gone 5 times for 12 minutes each time and I'm not even that tan yet. It's not that big of a deal, even if you are clastrophobic. You can close it all the way and there is still a little opening and it seems like you can close it even further. Even my dad, who is a big guy, goes in them and he said he doesn't feel clastrophobic. Perosnally, I love tanning, I can fall asleep in one of the beds.

Even though my town is really small there are quite a few tanning places. Let's face it - tanning beds are the only way to get a tan in Scotland cos we never get any bloody sunshine here!
I would never use a tanning bed. I can't tan - I just burn cos my skin is so pale naturally.
Personally, I don't really like tans - I prefer women with pale skin.

I have never actually gone before, but I am not scared to go or anything. Its usually plenty warm enough here to get a tan in the Summer time.

AnaheimPMWitch · 03-30-2003, 02:59 PM

well I dont need to Tan because I"m Naturally Tan and when I go out in the Sun I just get darker
but My sister goes Tanning all the time and she says its not that bad

*PinkLady* · 03-30-2003, 03:53 PM

I have sort of a natural tan, so I don't see the need to go.

Kay Scarpetta · 03-30-2003, 04:04 PM

Nope. I wouldn't look good tan. I'm pale, and I don't think that color skin would mix with my eyes/hair color.

~Tropical Punch 19~ · 03-30-2003, 04:18 PM

my mom works in a salon so she does and she tells me I can. But I just don't want to because I am afraid the UV Rays will make me get skin cancer. I'm kinda a whimp when it comes to that. My mom thinks I should go because I am very pale.

ISmellFine · 03-30-2003, 04:41 PM

I went to one last year, but I had to go forever before I actually got a tan because of my paleness. After I stoped going, I lost it really fast. I'm not even going to bother this year. It gets really boring after a while.

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ · 03-30-2003, 04:42 PM

I went tanning last year for my prom. I started off @ 5 minutes and worked my way up to 15. It wasnt a bed though, I stood up in mine. I burn, but since I worked my way up each day, it turned into a tan. It went from red into a light golden brown after about a week or so. It lasted a long time too. Im whicked pale and would love to tan more often, but theyre not the safest things so Ill only go for special occassions.

Tuesday Weld · 03-30-2003, 05:14 PM

I don't and I wouldn't.I have fair skin,so I'd just be harming my skin.A little bit of sun in the summer is enough for me and even that is probably not great.
