Tana Cabana

[BadGirl]

I had someone try to tell me the famous Urban Legend of Tanning Beds Cooked

Went back to the salon yesterday, knowing full well I couldn't handle 20 minutes so I only did 8 and still pinked up. The beds at Tana Cabanna used to burn me too. I think it's the quality of the bulbs. They have the Turbo beds at the salon I go to now that don't burn me, but they cost extra so I usually stick with the beds pay 18.88 a month for. White is for laundry.

/gonna die anyway, might as well be mummified beforehand
//get my cancer where I can see it before it kills me, so there's no surprise

While I totally agree at the absurdity of the tanning bed urban legend, I do know that from my personal experience, I have no intention of being reckless with my health for the sake of a fake tan. I feel reasonably confident that my pasty white skin will serve me well for many years to come - and I am very ok with that. And looking younger than my actual years is another significant benefit that I appreciate.

But to each their own. My only advice to those folks who do regularly tan is that they observe any changes in their skin - changes in existing moles, the discovery of new moles, and especially the change of color in moles. Any changes should be reported to a dermatologist - a family doctor might overlook the subtle nuances of skin cancer.

Family Dr? What's that? I'd have to be missing a body part before I'd go stand in line at sick call. Had my moles checked and the specialist wasn't impressed, even though I told him I tan.
There are so many ways to do damage to yourself, if one thing doesn't get ya, something else will. I'll still have a tan when it does.

That would be your primary care provider.

Don't get seen enough to actually see the same Dr. more than once. They transfer too soon, and the last Dr. got caught up in a court martial scandal. Seems he was a little too....."personal" with his female patients while the assistants stepped out after a PAP smear.

They must do back to back tours here or something. I see the same faces all the time.
