Best Answer

Tanning salons are not safe to use. Tanning opperates on the principle of burning your skin, which is harmful to the DNA of your cell. Damage to the DNA of cells increases the likelyhood that the cells turn cancerous and form a tumor that requires operation, creating a large scar that completely negates any 'beautifcation' granted by tanning.
