Embarassing Tan Lines

[Smeagle]

For instance, every since I recieve my watch 3 or so years ago, i've had a noticable "watch tan", whereby all the skin underneath is white compared to the rest of my arm.

I'm a pretty fair skinned guy, but my forearms are quite tanned.

Tan lines are a bitch, because once you first notice them when they are quite faint, you cover it up to avoid the slight embarassment - only for the tanline to become progressively worse and worse.

So, three years on, I have an extremely annoying line, that i cannot simply go out and tan over at the beach because it's too embarassing to be seen in public.

How do I get rid of it?

?

Hahaha, same here! I wear this massive Adidas Sports Watch everyday. But i dont care about it tbh.

Ive done the whole "getting a bit sunburnt, while wearing sunglsses all day" thing once. That was ****ing embarrassing walking around like that for a week or so till it faded.

Dude - you're worrying about a "watch tan". Any male who has spent any reasonable time outside would also possess aforementioned "watch tan". Stop the worrying now. If girls are fobbing you off because of your watch tan then Perth is a more peculiar place than I'd have ever thought.

If it bothers you that much buy a long sleeve Skins compression top and parade in it for 3 months down at Scarborough. Seriously dude, embrace the "watch tan"

Don't wear your watch.

How is it Embarrassing? Nobody cares, nobody is behind you s******ing at the inch band of white skin on your arm...

i used to have a HUGE wetsuit tan. litterally went from black to absolute white on my legs, arms and neck. it's basically all tanned now due to plenty of no shirt and footy short wearing.

Yeh I get intense wetty tanlines. If only it was warm enough to surf in boardies

but yeah watch tan? try walking around with a dead pale body apart from dark brown hands and face, now that looks ridiculous.

i'm really pretty brown, almost too brown on my stomach but barely at all on my back which looks ludicrious. I dont even know how it really happened, lol, but I dont really care either

I haven't rowed since April and I'm still trying to get rid of my zootie tan - both on my back and legs.

My left hand is white, not as bad as some though, I generally have a distinct sock line too.

I wear the sleeveless wetsuit when i go surfing so my face and arms are like black and the legs are white as.

Im naturally (and still am) bolt white with black hair so its bad for me.. But after months of working outdoors I have a cracking wifebeater tan and have shoulers as black as the ace of spades. Compare to my legs But after a few weeks of beaching I'm pretty well balanced, but if you are one of those people who are naturally tanned or skin tans instead of just burning, I envy you.

P.S FFS just a watch tan. Harden the **** up Stefan

sunburnt 3 times in my whole life, and these have all been minor- not noticable after a day and am tanned

but, i fail to see how you can go from 'bolt white' to 'as black as the ace of spades', even if you are in the sun all day every day.

and to the op- you pussy. lol

 

[blockman155]

ive got a thong tan on my feet

 

[Dont be a lemon]

I have a shirt and shorts tan. When I wear sandals in summer I get a sandal tan

When I used to have a watch I had the watch tan too but my watch broke back in 2005 and I've been too lazy/poor to bother getting a new one since so watch tan is long gone.

I was taking the piss but the only part of me decently tanned is my shoulders, everything else is bolt white.

**** being Scottish

Saw a bird on Manly beach trying to remove her boob tan lines the other day....certainly the white pointers aren't just in the water.

 

[krusden]

I love my watch tan. I can rip it off and show people that I'm really pasty white....If your watch tan bothers you just wear your watch all the time. That's what i do.

I fell asleep with my hand on my stomach all afternoon on the beach last year. I got very burnt.

It looked like someone had painted a white hand on my stomach, pretty embarrising.

One holiday in Qld I took a trip by road on teh first day I got there from Noosa to Brisbane and back and drove all the way there and all the way back with the roof off and my singlet off and I had a red chest and shoulders with a white seatbelt sash. Looke dlike I was wearing a footy jumper!

 

[Willow_2000]

Went to the cricket on Sunday and got burnt red raw while wearing sunglasses all day. I have this massive embarrasing sunglasses mark now and to make it worse i wear big sunnys so it takes up a big section around the eyes and side of the face.

I never peel either so im hoping for once it will peel and not tan so i can get rid of it.
