At my gym we get free tanning with our membership. They are actually upright (standing) booths with 360 degree coverage. What's cool about those is yer not laying down an inch or two from the bulbs.
Anyway, any insight/cautions/solutions from the SSSSLLLLYYYYYMEISTERS out there

The club I was with a while ago had the upright tanning booths. About the size of small coat closet.? They are fairly straightforward. I found the tanning times were a bit longer, but nothing to unusual about them. As from the dome factor, I did not do anything special, no tanning oils or protection, but I tend to be rather burn resistant.

The trick is to start off slow and safe. Most people jump in first time for 10-15 minutes -- big mistake. Start with 5 minutes (even less if it makes you feel safer) and start adding time in small amounts.

Personally, I doubt you would catch me anywhere near one of those damn things. If ya don't like looking at my pasty white legs then look the other direction.

I just bought a tanning package at my local salon to help me get away from this whole halogen light bulb thing I have going. I'd imagine that tanning in a bed should be avoided so you dont't get a white patch on the back of your noggen, resulting from your head resting on the ghetto pillow those things come with. I'll be advancing my possibilites of cancer standing in one of the booths.

you remove the pillow is how you solve that problem.

After removing the pillow your head lies directly on the glass causing a pressure point. In my experience, pressure point areas tend not to tan, such areas around you shoulders and such. I assume this would be the same for the head?
