I have a very outlandish question. BTW, my name's Dave, and I'm brand spankin' new in this forum. Ok here goes.

If it is impossible for you to tan, what would you think about a full-body "tan tattoo"? Aside from the obvious downsides(money, time, pain, etc.), how effective do you think it would be?

i have no idea. if that would be possible. why not spray tan instead, cheaper, less painful than a "Tattoo tan" and not as hazardous to your health as actual tanning. but then again what do i know i like my porcelain skin and do not like skin cancer.

I would rather have tons of tattoos covering my body than a tanned tattoo personally, and agree it would be a lot cheaper to just get a spray tan.

Hi Dave, welcome to the forum.

The first thing that comes to mind is that I would think it would be VERY hard to get it to come out looking smooth and uniform all over...seems like it would look streaky or blotchy in places.

Also, I can't even imagine what something like that would cost...and...ouch!!!

I'm with chic on this one. Never heard of anything as crazy as that. And one point is that there would be no way that any artist could keep the colour matched all over the body.

Not even the slightest bit reallistic to even ponder this. Never going to be done.

Wait!

Didn't Michael Jackson get rid of a tan this way?

Hi Dave welcome to the forum. I think you are entitled to ask any question you like i believe in free speech. However you must be prepared to receive all sorts of replies. The job can be done however it would cost thousands of pounds would take hundreds of hours and finding an artist to undertake such work maybe very difficult.However you are entitled to ask any question and you are free to do what you want with your own body as long as it does not effect someone else. I hope you are sincere in asking this question and not just taking the p.Can you please post in detail your reasons for wanting this done i would be very interested to know. Smile

@rowdy- I don't know what "taking the p" means, but yes I was sincere in asking the question. Why else would I ask it?

why not just get tattooed red all over for that just back from the beach look?

It would be so exspenisve it wouldn't even by worth it, in my opinion. But whatever floats your boat I guess
