Yes. Tanning is your body's natural protection against sunburn; it's what your body is designed to do. Anti-tanning lobbyists falsely refer to this process as "damage" to your skin, but calling a tan "damage" is a dangerous oversimplification. In fact, it's much like calling exercise "damage to your muscles." When you exercise, you are actually tearing tiny muscle fibers in your body. At first glance, when examined at the micro-level, this tearing could be called "damage.

The amount of UV radiation that a person is exposed to depends on many factors including time of day, season and latitude. The spectrum of UV radiation from a tanning bed is similar to that of sunlight.

Just as various kinds of indoor tanning lamps and equipment differ in spectral output and energy emitted, the sun's strength id dependant on several factors as well, such as the time of day or year, the latitude, cloud cover, pollution and reflection.

You can not go tanning until your tattoo is completely healed. Refer to the question “How do I know when it’s done healing” if you are unsure when that is.

When your tan is gone, the color will be back to normal.

Yes, in fact, sometimes more so because you are in a controlled environment. Your skin produces a tan the same way in an indoor tanning salon as it does when you lay out in the sun: through ultraviolet (UV) light. However, out in the sun, you cannot control the amount of UV light exposure and trying to achieve an all-over even-body tan is very difficult. Indoor tanning allows you to control the amount of UV light, for all all-over even tan.

UVB (from the sun or in a low pressure indoor tanning unit) stimulates the melanocytes in the upper skin layer (called the epidermis) which then produce melanin. The pale pink melanin granules formed in the melanocytes are stored around the core of the keratin cells. In this manner the pigment granula protects the sensitive DNA located inside the nuclei without impeding the other parts of the cell receiving ultraviolet light.
