    I would love some suggestions about some tanning places...I can't do the 20 minute beds anymore (I have too little patience :) so a place that has the medium or high pressure...I actually live at McGee's Crossroads, but travel through 40/42 on my way home in the afternoons.

    Thanks for any help.

    T'z Tanning in Peddler Village is a local favorite on here! :mrgreen:

    Absolutely! You will not find a nicer person than T. Also, there are coupons in the Cleveland Clipper if you decide to go there.

    I went there a few yrs ago. I have no complaints against it, I just found it harder to get and out of due to traffic there. Been going to T's for the last 2 yrs and like it better, all around. :lol:

    also, the one across the street, you don't get the options like you do at T's....in other words, it cost extra for the shorter timed, what they call "High pressure" beds, where as at T's one monthly price covers whatever bed you decide to be in, traditional 20 min, standup for 10, 15 min or 12 min beds....you get to pick.

    Does anyone else think that T's hours are too short on Saturdays? I stopped by this weekend and was disappointed..

    Since I don't want to look like a Alligator Suitcase I've never been to a Tanning Salon,just my opinion ;)

    Quote:Tanning salon owners say tanning machines are safer than outdoor tanning for two reasons: 1) they mainly use UVA rays, and 2) they offer more "controlled" UV exposure. However, we know now that UVA is a carcinogen, and studies have revealed that tanning salons frequently exceed "safe" UV limits. Study after study has shown that sunbed tanning increases the risk of both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancers.

    The facts bear out: There is no such thing as a safe tan. However, there are safe alternatives in sunless tanners. Being informed about how to protect yourself from unwanted sun exposure is the best defense against skin cancer and photoaging.

    Annette, no offense, but the OP wasn't asking whether or not she SHOULD tan. Unless you have been living on Mars, pretty much everyone knows there are risks involved in tanning, indoor or otherwise. :cheers:

    yep, it's true. There are risks. I choose to tan. But I try and tan as safe as I can. I use 30 SPF always, all over. Tanning makes me feel good. It boosts my personal morale and tan fat looks better than lily white fat. 8)

    And just for the record, folks keeping outta the sun so much are now lacking in Vitamin D....which is really bad for women.

    so it's a double edged sword.

    The tanned fat made me laugh out loud!! I hadn't heard anyone say that since a friend of ours was talking about his wife (now ex). He used to say tanned fat looks better than white fat, and boy........his wife............whew baby! LOL.

    Anyway, I haven't used a tanning bed in years, with that said, I STILL have tan lines from last summer, I spent so much time at the pool with DS. :lol: I am actually thinking about getting a month or two at one. I have eczema and it is great for that. A dermotologist put me in a tanning bed the first time I ever used one, right there in his office, one of the stand up ones. Everything in moderation. :cheers:

    I tan during the summer so I don't scare the people at the pool, but I can't afford to do it year round!! And finding the time is tough as well. But man is it relaxing when you get some good music and just lay there 8)

    :mrgreen: Glad I could make you laugh....but it's TRUE!!

    I don't tan year round....but I do tan a few months leading up to summer. It helps me get the base tan going which helps me from getting scorched in the summer, since I have fairly fair skin.

    I am starting early this year (tanning).....seeing how I am heading to Jamaica in 58 days...8)

    Tanning would interfere with my pasty whiteness.
