Dermatologists will tell you time and time again that tanning booths are the absolutely worst thing you can do to your skin.

I tend to agree. Cancer is no bullshit matter.

Tanning = bad

If you are very white, it will take a lot longer than just one visit for you to see a difference. You'd have to expose yourself very frequently to get a base tan going, and this is part of the reason why it is a problem for someone like you.

Tanning is NOT taking care of your body.

I used to be obssessed with getting tan, then I stopped when I noticed I started to develop wrinkles on my forhead...
I freaked out, stopped going to the beach and pool on a daily basis, and my skin is so much better now. There's absolutely nothing wrong with having pale White skin...

is there a good substitute than going to a tanning booth then and getting a good tan other than the sun?

Fake tan or Melanotan.

I agree with all the reasons not to tan.

However,

with that said...

Tanning beds/tanning salons can vary greatly. Like wine or perfume. Some are no good. Cheap places often have low quality/old bulbs. Just becasue the light is on...doesn't mean you're getting what you are paying for. Ask the owner how often he changes the bulbs. Also, ask if there are various levels of beds. Cheaper beds can be worse on your skin. There are some beds/bulbs out there that don't give off as much of the bad stuff.

I'm not saying it's 'good for you'. I'm just saying...if you're gonna go anyway...

I like to a few times at the beginning of the summer so that I'm not too white.

Oh, and I rob a liquor store or two so that I feel even less white.

That alone won't do it, WHAT did you take from the liquor store? White Zin or a nice Chardonay won't cut it. You better be the proud owner of a big ole bottle of MD 20/20 or Thunderbird.

Okay, so I'll abandon a toddler, put a new born in a dumpster, and cover a building in graffiti. How's that sound?

Better, but it still doesn't address the issue I pointed out. Come on, you can tell me, you took a bottle of Turning Leaf, didn't you?

A nail gun would ensure that they don't fall down.

I was thinking about a pheumatic framing nailer, but it's a bit too bulky to carry around.

In prison isn't that a signal for an invitation that you prefer your guests to enter through the rear?

I love it, all this political incorrect talk, it's so funny!...and yet so true!

tanning always is gonna be bad, but who gives a shit one way or another you'll die, tanning shows all the cuts, I tan 4 times a week, used to be 5 , haha, I'm olive colored, but its the sweetest thing ever, plus
You have to build up to the light, like bodybuilding,
Day one, 10 min
day two 10 min

There's nothing wrong with using a tanning salon if you want to walk around looking like a catcher's mitt. Have fun!

Overly tan chicks = GROSS.
