How tanned are you?

EdenHazard

Lovin' life here, proper golden tan here. I've foreign grandparents so it helps. Any of you struggling with a sunburn or currently sporting horrible farmer tan?

I'm like an aul' saddlebag that was dipped in creosote.

Frosty McSnowballs

I have an awesome sun blushed glow. Real California style. I look like a good looking Zac fcuking Effron here.

You would be well Jelly! My grandparents were albinos, poor bastards.

I'm lush I am.

michellie

I've a great tan. And no tan lines either I was born for this type of weather.

S'all good girlfriend!

Zachyballs told me to call him that. I'm his muse apparently.

Like Treacle

I am not tanned per se I am still fairly white but have a bit of colour alright not pale at least!

If you compare me to someone very tanned I am like i've never been out in the sun but I don't go out for long and stay in the shade as much as possible I try not to burn though I do sometimes so have as much factor and high factor on as possible and out only at certain times of the day. So not golden brown yet rarely have been so just build it up gradually but rather be white than have a tan to be honest no such thing as a safe tan!

I'm like a Terry's Chocolate Orange. My sunburn eventually turned into a tan, and a ginger with a tan is not a good look.

Aurelia Cotta

Born with Olive Skin from my family. I only rarely get burnt and I always have a nice skin tone. Too bad for my nieces and nephews though, little ghosts.

Fr_Dougal

Make it stop.

Lenin Skynard

I'm half burnt/half freckled. Hopefully the freckles will join up enough to resemble a tan.

Chucken

Didn't the last 6 months just fly by.

I have a slight discolouration on my right arm from sun and driving. Otherwise, not even an extra freckle. I sun proof myself extremely well. Tan has been ruined by howiyas. I much prefer my pale skin

That Spanish/Polish vibe is SO yesterday, apparently the Portuguese/Lithuanian 'look' is de rigueur, sorry carzony but there you go.

I'm actually quite hot with my tan i'll have ya know and the spanish/polish vibe will never die out

Norwesterner

I'm an ethnic minority abroad (5% whites here)
Surrounded by dark folk and the girls are attracted to whitey.
So it's total sun-bloc for me.
Is sun-tan still attractive in Ireland?
Thats so 80's.

implausible

Like death warmed up with patches of discoloration, while my offspring frolic around in the sun with their oul tanned Protestant skin...

I've actually been on the receiving end of racist nackers, obviously being Irish I take a bit of pleasure out of hearing 'spic'(Ohhh noo I've tanned skin the travesty) but imagine your a 17 year old student from Spain and being on the end of it. Not good at all tbh. This was on a packed Dublin Bus as well. Also got it working in Spar one time, two numbskulls came in telling me 'to **** off back to spain'

Norwesterner

2 weeks of suntan will in the long term knock about 5 years off your youthful looks.

Spanish students will have no idea what "spic" means.
It's a North American term for Latinos.
Unheard of in Spain.

_Whimsical_

Didn't catch a single ray... not even through the window.
I was inside wilting all the time, outside was just impossible. I'm milky white as ever.

hollster2

Loving my tan just need the nerve to get my boobs out only thing white lol

Wibbles19

Out in the sun from the start, creamed up with F50 all the way and not only am I tanned but without pain and peeling!

I know yeah, but its not the word that matters its the meaning behind it. A black person from Africa might not know the term n***er but it doesn't take away from the scumbaggery of it.

Spanish people are also so racist themselves against Mexicans etc. but not really relevant.

Mariasofia

See what i mean

We never get the sun in Ireland so hardly gonna be that big of a difference/

abcdefghijkl

Been out in the sun everyday for hours... hardly tanned.

Thought this thread was sniffing out those who had English parents or grandparents :P

70 odd year old neighbour of my in-laws gets her back crackers out every time there's even a hint of sun, lies out on a lounger on her front lawn, nobody bats an eyelid, we're all used to her now :pac:

Lia_lia

I'm tanned..for me. My shoulders are pretty brown and so are my arms. I am usually very very white! Been out in the sun a bit, not a huge amount though. Haven't burned at all this year. I very rarely burn, which is weird considering how white I am :pac:

fake tan doesnt count

major bill

Nope...I don't colour and only for the greatness of sunblock I have'nt burned either so I still look like a character from Twilight

TheChizler

Perfect line 15 cm down my arms.

December2012

Out every day and I'm still 50 shades of grey.

TeddyTedson

This tanned.

edit: The flash actually makes it look less but basically I have a ridiculous looking tan on my face, arms and neck. The rest of me is as white as Christmas. I've been wearing sun cream every day but that doesn't seem to actually stop you tanning. Is there no way to avoid it?
I've no problem getting a tan but this farmers tan business is not a good look
