This pad would strap wherever on your body you like. It would have a UV emitter and a large set of stencils. (along with the means to make your own) It would, over the period of a week, tan a picture into your skin.

Or you could cover up the negative space around the desired image, leaving the "tattoo" tan against a lighter background.

Dr. Worm, thats essentially what he's saying with the 'stensils' right? Or, am I missing something completely again?

[daseva] you're right. [DrWorm] how can I state this more clearly?

Wonderful. Now you can have melanoma in any shape you desire.

Show them you mean it; have "My darling <Beloved's name>, I'd die for you> tanned into your empidermis ... and then go ahead and actually die. Quite slowly, unpleasantly, and in a lot of pain.

Any UV exposure in excess of that required to produce the necessary amount of Vitamin D is a Bad Thing.

Oops, nevermind. Yeah, that was what I was describing.
