As a very fair skinned person who will burn and never tan, I"m jealous of people who can tan. However, I also know how dangerous tanning can be. I did a bunch of damage to my skin as a stupid teenager, more cases of sun poisoning than I can count, and everytime I get freckle or something odd on my skin, I have to get it checked out.

Tans look good, most people look better with a tan, but getting them the conventional way is very unhealthy. I've seen people die of skin cancer, it's not a pleasant way to go.

This girls mother seems to realize it, and doesnt seem to do anything about it except say that the tanning centers are too cheap...
