[Cheerleading Is My Life]

We are getting white uniforms. Some parents were like - oh, so it will be time for tanning beds [emoji15]
Me: No way.
Guess i will need to offer a spray tanning workshop for the parents [emoji23]

Is there no law in the states about tanning beds? In Canada, you have to be 18 to use a tanning bed.

I suspect there are only state laws. In Washington State you have to be 18. I'm glad for the law (it's fairly new) because there is no way I'm letting my child in a tanning bed and now the law backs me up. I'm not a super fan of spray tans, but I let her get them for 2-day comps for now.

I believe you can start as early as 14 with parental consent.

I'd take a tanning bed over a spray tan any day of the week. Danger be damned.

So you would put your kid in a tanning bed? I wouldn't, I'd rather deal with mess than cancer. But preferably neither of them!

In NJ you have to be at least 17, I think there is a minimum age for going to a spray tan place too, but not 100% sure. Of course you could always do your own spray tan at home

Notice I used the word 'me' not CP. CP doesn't have a sensory issue like I do---I'm being dead serious when I say that just getting my clothes wet with rain makes me feel like I want to rip my skin off. I can't handle a spray tan for that reason and I wouldn't wish this sensitivity on anyone; if it was between a tanning bed or spray tan, I would HAVE to use a tanning bed or I'd be catatonic in a corner trying to peel my skin off.

ETA: I have no idea what FL laws are, but I know a minor can use a tanning bed with adult consent.

I'm only considering my cp getting a spray tan for the FL comps....... no one needs to be around her when the sun glares off her incredibly pale legs and blinds everyone in a 10 mile radius

I think it is 16 in germany, but i'm not sure. And i never would let cp go to one - i'd rather spray tan her and deal with washing the uniforms with all the good advices i've learned here.

I don't want to hear/see anyone saying that full tops can't be cute after seeing this or the numerous other good examples in this and other threads.

I'm claustrophobic so I can't stand the thought of being in a tanning bed. Plus I don't like the feeling of a spray tan or the smell so I don't do any tanning prep for competitions.
I live in Florida and tan easily so I never really had an issue with being super pale

Lucky! My mom is Irish and my dad was Native American---I took after the Irish side. I don't tan, I turn red---if I want any color to hold, I practically have to bake myself into the ER.

I always feel like I am in a coffin. I am scared the top is going to drop and lock.

That much white is just a huge no go from me. I feel like your kids shouldn't have to get a spray tan to stand out and as someone with fair skin, I'd look way, way more Casper than normal trying to pull that off. White is bad!

I thought light colors make your skin look darker and dark colors make your skin look lighter? Or is this just something I told myself in high school?

I think light colors make skin look darker if the skin is already relatively dark. Like, tan girls look even tanner in neons and pastels.

I always think of the scene from that one Final Destination movie....
