When you get a really bad sunburn is there a way to not peel and keep the tan?

No, sunburn is a burn. It kills the surface layer of skin and this will peel off. However, gentle, short and prolonged exposure to the sun (never getting burned in the process) will cause melanin to appear in your skin. This sort of tan is not caused by a burn and is a semi permanent change in your skin (provided exposure to sun is kept up) and this will not peel off. HOWEVER please remember that exposure to the sun (UV rays) is harmful to the skin and can cause skin cancers later in life - bad sunburn is especially dangerous for this!
