Tattoo Tanning
Tan lines can be sexy but they might get even sexier if Yu-Chiao Wang takes care of it. The next time you go the the beach, you could grab a Sun Tattoo and put those UV rays into good use. The principle is simple: the soft stenciled patterns allows sun to hit only certain areas on your body. Lay down long enough and you’ve got yourself a unique tattoo tan. If you can’t stay out of the sun and want to impress bikini babes or tattoed bikers, you might enjoy this, the best thing being that you won’t have to keep it forever.

you can tell it’s not a before and after picture because the design on the robe is different than the tan

wow,
STEPH
you are totally right, I’m beining to question if the tan would really turn out that perfect. I mean, what if for the after pic they just painted it on or something?
And even though the idea of this tattoo tanning is really cool, I doubt it would work unless you had the right skin to beging with. Take me for example = I DONT tan well. So thta stencil would probably be painful, peeling, and bright red in my case.

Nice eye for detail Steph.
Kay- you would probably want to spend a day in the sun beforehand (with some sunblock on), but once your skin has grown used to the sun (this is what I find anyway), you can darken nicely.
Oh, and if you just wear the outline and walk around etc, it won’t work at all. You would need to be laying down, in the open, with no shade.

any of you geniuses ever consider the fact that they used a spray tan???

No, the towel got filpped upside down when she actually laid down for the tan.
Yeah, true that about the spray tan. Notice how her arms are white? She could either have laid on them, or used a spray tan, though in my experience, a tan like that would take MANY coats to be so prevalent.

im not trying to down the idea of this all but the likelyhood of this really working out is pretty slim, some people dont tan, some just burn, so nothing like a burn tattoo lol, and getting the towel in the exact spot everytime would b difficult and could cause error in the ‘tattoo’. i say just get a real tattoo, much more impressive and doesnt make tattoos look like a joke, tattoos arent about looking cool to impress people its to express urself artistically or show ur mistakes when ur drunk =P
any of u have something to say to that email it directly to me

What is it with “white” people and their desire to become “colored”?

the tan is the same, just a mirror image. you people look way to par into this, it looks cool, is that not enough?. she it!

A loose garment won’t work. The stencil would have to be painted on or tight fitting like a swimsuit. Anyone remember Police Academy? Anyway, make a stencil, brush on some SPF 7000, and there you go, as long as you don’t rub it or get wet. A decal would work, too. It wouldn’t run, but it would still restrict your activities.

THIS IS FUCKING SO AWSOME AND WOULD BE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SEXY ON A HOT WOMEN

this is so clearly photoshopped!

Really nice, but i wonder if it really works that well. Maybe I can try it with my own tattoo designs.

This happened to me once, whilst dozing in the sun my little brother placed a dinosaur-shaped biscuit on me. I woke up slightly burned, but with a perfect white dinosaur on my stomach. At least, the concept does indeed work…

Your missing the fact, there giving you other potions instead of tattoos. This is a free, non- harmful body art. Yes maybe the pictures are different but there showing you what they did in order to get a design and yes spray tans are a good idea if you have fair skin. But just try it and maybe you will like it.
