Answer 1

No you can't I think the first time I went you had to be 17 or 18. You are most definitely going to need your parents permission, 12 is Really young to start tanning!

And that was just a movie : )

Answer 2

Oh my God, stick with your normal skin color. Tanning is just as bad as using whitening lotion. Stop conforming and be happy in your own skin.

Answer 3

Not where I'm from.

You have to be 16...why not try some sunless tanning lotions instead?

You don't want to kill your skin this early. Trust me.

Answer 4

yeah

Answer 5

I think you are too young.  But it depends on where you live.

Answer 6

No, you must be of legal age. Please stay away from these. Even though they are supposed to adhere to regulations you can and will develop a sun burn. Your skin is very sensitive, particularly at your young age. I rarely sunbathed and did not use sunblock when I was younger as it wasn't available. I have had skin cancer 3 times. Protect your skin now and it will be beautiful for years. Try different lotions to give you the appearance of a tan without the danger. Be aware though that these have no sunblock and will not protect your skin.

Answer 7

Tanning is bad for you whether you're 12 or 21.  If you don't want skin cancer and weird-looking wrinkly skin by the time you grow up, avoid them altogether.  Regular tanning bed use more than doubles your risk of cancer, and the younger are at more risk.

Tan skin is overrated; just be natural.  If you simply must tan, tan in natural sunlight with proper sunscreen.  Read the links below.

Answer 8

yes you can.

Answer 9

i think so but be scare because it was just a movie k hope i help

Answer 10

you can if you are with a parent/guardian but tanning on a bed is really bad for your skin I would just be happy with who you are.  i would just go out in the sun as much as possible, if it is too cold to wear just a t shirt then do some exercise as this will keep you warm while the suns rays reach your body.  it is much better to get a natural tan than go on a tanning bed, honest!

Answer 11

KID ur too young fo tanning

Answer 12

I remember an experiment on tanning.

They put a steak inside a tanning bed and turned up the light.

When the experiment was finished, the inside of the steak was overcooked but the outside was raw.

If you tan a lot I think it can do damage to your DNA and it increases your risk for skin cancer.

But every kid spends time outside in the sun. Just don't do it too often and wear sun screen if you are out for a long time. I have heard great things about spray tans, the kind of stuff they will do once at a spa. It lasts for about a week. Avoid the fake tanners - they look really transparent and they smell terrible!

I would also advise you to avoid a tanning bed because they are completely unnecessary and your body does not need to damage its DNA so young...

Answer 13

you might be able to use a tanning bed.  Some salons require adult permission some just take your money and run!

It's well known that tanning beds are no safer than frying in the sun.  Why not get some good quality tan in a bottle and let that do the job.  Be patient, use it carefully and you'll get a nice glow with out worrying about frying or cancer of the skin.  

Answer 14

If you have money and your mom comes, with parent consent a kid can almost do anything.

Final Detestation is a stupid fake movie

Answer 15

Im 14 and i thinK your way too young to be damging your skin at at sunbed.

Just try a moisturiser With a hint of self tan in it..

It makes you have a healthy sun kissed glow hehe.
