New to Tanning! Help!

[CliqueRock]

Ok, I'm new to tanning...I've been going for about a month and am still fairly light...I use Tattoo by Supre, not hot...but someone that works at my salon suggested to use hot on my arms and legs, so i just bought it, haven't tried it yet. I use the eye protection that have no middle to them. Now my basic questions...am I doing anything wrong? Should I do something else? HOW CAN I GET A GREEEEEEEAT TAN???? Also, i Have a tattoo on my back shoulder...I dont want it to fade...I've been putting some sunblock on it, but it still seems to be kind of fading...what kind should protect that?

For your tattoo, get some lip balm with SPF it is easier to apply and most are SPF 15, 25 or 30. I would suggest Cal Tan heliotherapy, Pro Tan's lip stuff, or Emerald Bay Agave Twister.

Some people use tingle lotions just on their extremities as they are harder to tan. You can try that or you can also try Matahari's Dark Sexy Legs to give your legs a boost!!

I am an advocate of Dark Sexy Legs, it worth a try!!! I don't know how you would react to a tingle (Hot). I was suckered into a tingle when I first started and it hurt me sooo bad!! I'm not saying you can't handle it... just be careful!! Maybe get a sample first

I actually got a friend to trace the design of my tattoo onto some paper. I made copies of these, cut them out, and now I put the paper cutout of the tattoo over the sunblock. The lotion helps it stick there....maybe that would work for you.

I use spf 50 or 75 I think.. I have a white ring around the tattoo but i'm glad its not fading and its 3 years old!
