Is tanning good for your brain?

I'm not sure if radiation; which damages DNA & can lead to death, mutations, defects, cancer, etc; can penetrate the skull & reach the brain. But the fact that bones can get cancer and spread through the blood stream, makes me think it might either be able to pass through bone & damage the brain or it might be unable to. But is able to cause brain skull cancer which then leads to the brain and ultimately to the rest of the body or str8 from the skull to the skin.
