I don't tan. I don't like the idea of tans and tanning. As such, I am not tanned. In fact, the sun and I are not friends, but not in the "it-burns-me" way, rather, in the "I-hate-hot-and-the-Sun-always-gets-in-my-eyes" way.
I'm not brown, I'm actually black...Wolverine18 said:

like that.
I have "Jew Blood" so I'm sort of light olive skin tone. Despite I never see the light of day I still manage to have a tan.
Congrats on your pregnancy! Or if you've had the baby already, then even more congratulations XDBara_no_Hime said:
OT: I'm a white as a sheet. I have two skin colours - pale as hell or red. I wish I could tan, I probably should be a red head, my skin is so sensitive. (I wish I were, their hair colour is GORGEOUS!)
I don't want to use fake tan because it can look trashy. One time I did used some tinted moisturiser which looked nice because it wasn't OTP so I might try that again.
I have a fairly permanent tan thanks to the right genetic heritage. Even when I was in the Navy and would spend weeks belowdecks without a hint of sunshine I never faded below a light tan.
OTOH, I am overweight and rarely go out without a shirt on so my arms are slightly darker than the rest of me but not noticeably so, ie no tan lines per se.

I don't tan I burn horribly. So the sun and I have an agreement, I don't go out in it for long and it won't burn me. Also I am a winter person I hate summer so woohoo the heat is coming to an end.
I travel around and look after old peoples places for them since they can no longer do it themselves.Dags90 said:
I don't seem to be able to tan that much. My arms do a bit (although due to being completely broke and living in the arsehole of nowhere I can't go out to the town centre much). I started wearing shorts a few months back non-stop, yet my legs have not tanned in the slightest even though my arms have.
funny thing, i didn't even notice i got a bit tan until the tan marks appeared on my arms and neck/shoulders area. this is primarily because im ALWAYS wearing a t-shirt, and to top it off, im half black, half white, so my arms are kinda just that color all year round.
I hear your ante and raise my own Blonde Swedish and Ginger English genetic mix. Not even an ironic trace of melanin.Cheesepower5 said:
I don't tan, I lobster.
My mums are big on genealogy and ancestry as academic hobbyists... Can trace our roots almost back to Pict and Viking era clans by approximate geography.
I have seen too much sun, but since I have ginger genes (I got the skin, but now the hair) I can stand the sun for about, hmm, 5 minutes.
Except I live in Osaka which was not designed for people with ginger genes, so I am all red with freckles. I just hope that I do not turn into one huge freckle like some ginger people.

I am quite tanned for a Irish person, especially seen as we've got a total of 2 days of sunshine this summer.
But I don't get tan marks. At no point on my body does my tan suddenly stop. Maybe its because I don't sunbathe, and the tan I get is from moving around in the sun, but my arms gradually go from light brown around the wrists to basically white at my shoulders.
