do you tan? if so, how often?

Do you think it greatly increases the risk of skin cancer?

Can I ask you what type of beds you guys have?

At the place I go they have a high pressure bed.. they also have some other ones that use WOLFF bulbs but they say are just 2% UVB (bad UV?)

what the fuck is the difference between all these are is it just a scam?

Also, I tan at the booth but don't get that dark, when I go to the beach and get real sun I get a LOT more color.

I'm serious here bro, this could be a good thread.

once a week ..I get plenty of sun being here in AZ

Do you think it greatly increases the risk of skin cancer?


yes big time... u should get checked out by your doc every 6 months ... if u catch it early, ur ok.. but cant wait around... EVERY 6 MONTHS !

seems like all tanning salons name there beds something different.. regular to the stand up (different watts and power though)

At the place I go they have a high pressure bed.. they also have some other ones that use WOLFF bulbs but they say are just 2% UVB (bad UV?)

Id say so.. the higher the power the faster the tan and the faster your skin breaks down (thats how u tan..skin breaks down and colors itself.)

what the fuck is the difference between all these are is it just a scam?

higher powered beds = faster tan..worth the extra money? not really.. just get a good tan and touch up once and a while.. if u want to look real tan, use some self tanner (safer too)Also, I tan at the booth but don't get that dark, when I go to the beach and get real sun I get a LOT more color.

for the most part. no need for peeps to tan there faces so much... use a towel over your face and just tan your body (face tanning = hard core aging) plus super tanned faces look dumb (esp on girls since the fake tanning and make up make them look orange as hell )

yeah man, I always put a towel or shirt over my face, I don't like the super tan face look... you said once it looks geigh, i agree.

so I use this place Hollywood tans.

All their "beds" are stand up.

One is 42 bulbs.. max time is 11 minutes in it... they say its the normal bed.

then they have as 54 bulb one, they say its different bulbs then the 42 bulb one.. 3% UVB or something.. max time is 10 minutes.

Then there is a 60 bulb one.. max time is 8 minutes, they say its 2% UVB and their strongest bed.

Then they just got high pressure.. you can go 15 minutes in this one.. its got totally different bulbs.. the glass covering them gets hot as fuck..

"Also, I tan at the booth but don't get that dark, when I go to the beach and get real sun I get a LOT more color" - lestat

some say tanning beds are better since it is controlled light vs sun which goes behind clouds and what not.... but the beach tan is seems work better prolly since u are out there alot longer in the sun

you could try some of those tanning meds or Niacin to try tanning and getting darker..

alot of bros have used the tanning drugs here.. i neve have but thought about it

need a link to find the tanning meds just ask (do a plat search and there is a ton of info on ef about tanning meds)

the seller on stand up beds is also you wont miss a spot on your body (ppl say in lay down beds u miss alot of your sides... but just be careful when tanning...only tan here or there and just touch up.. no need to go 30 days straight like some morons doo. (you can only get so tan)

tan skin is a sign of skin damage. unless it is a result of some self-tanning lotion or spray on tan.
