Urban Legends: Killer Tan

In 1987  a young woman wanted to get a glowing tan before her wedding. She was to get married the next week and started late on her tan. She would go to a tanning salon and come out disappointed in her session. She was not as dark as she wanted. She realized that there were limitations to how much she could tan at each salon. She would then decide to make appointments for several salons in the next few days to get to that preferred color.

On her wedding day, she was the color she wanted, but she did not feel good and there seemed to be a smell she could not get rid of. While taking pictures she had a nose bleed and died. It had turned out that she had cooked her insides and the smell was her insides rotting.

There are variations of this urban legend. In some, she's found baked alive in the tanning bed, in others she may just lose a body part. This urban legend mostly serves against misuse of technology like tanning beds and to follow precautions set out to keep yourself safe.
