    Are you a body builder? There are some guys in the fitness forum who go for this type of thing, maybe post there.

    I was going to suggest that this thread should be moved to LGBT forum, but besides getting a ban it would be doing them an injustice. I really hope the op is not from Dublin, or is taking the p**s.. Bottom line is real men don't use spray tan, try the ladies forum!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,624 ✭✭✭Dancor


    Im sure any tanning parlour would do it.

    I'm all for the metrosexualisation of the male but seriously, don't you think that a guy getting a spray tan is crossing some kind of imaginary manly/male line?? Whatever about tanning beds getting a spray tan is a whole different beast

    Cause it's a bit ghay, that's why.

    I'd rather listen to a bloke painted all over in Ronseal than somebody like you, to be honest.

    He asked where he could get it, not snide remarks and to be judged by people.

    Thought people had moved forward a bit.

    Ignore the comments of please dont and why.
    Do what you want.Just make sure you get a slight one rather then Guido one.
    I think majority of places would do mens spray tans.

    Two things; spray tan a) looks positively fake, b) totally stupid on guys and girls.

    By all means go for it, but please - you have to understand you'll be ripped out of it! Don't mind people who side with you, telling you that "we've moved forward" (whatever that means)... You'll be the belle laughing stock of the ball!

    I'm sure most beauty salons would cater for a male? Maybe ring a few and ask.
    I would recommend:

    Good for you, I wouldn't particularly want to talk to a male spray tan apologist either. I think this thread is hillarious, the pro-choice spray tan brigade are taking things so seriously.

    Obviously some dubliners are becoming more narcissistic than would have been the case in the past. Good luck to the op I say, just don't be surprised when people giggle at you in the streets, or your mates take the p**s. Listen the reality is that any beauty salon will cater for your request, just don't be offended by the strange looks you get. And when you're done the staff might have a little giggle to themselves but what the harm, as you're happy with your tangerine complexion

    No i would say some people are not bothered what others think and not worried about petty gossips and about time to.
    Life is way to short to be worrying about whether other people like what choice others make.
    And those who giggle and slag or think someone elses choices are stupid just because they dont like it,means they are shallow and sheep and sad and immature.And if any of the staff in them places giggled or made comments about anything they are unprofessional and pathetic.

    Xen tan is the best spray tan there is, afaik. Try ringing some salons as previously suggested, I am sure they would be happy with the business.

    Yes, you're right some don't, but your point seems a little silly and contradictory in respect of a man who wants a spray-on tan. Think about it for a moment the only reason why somebody would want a fake tan is the exact opposite of not being bothered what people think. Obviously that person is getting a spray-on tan to impress others with their wonderfully exotic and non-milk bottle white Irish complexion, in other words such a tan is for fashion and vanity purposes. Surely, if a person didn't care what other people thought they could make a statement in a less fashion conscious and David Beckham'esque way, mere coincidence that 'not caring what other people think' happens to be so high fashion and en vogue with celebrities and is likely to impress others..

    It does not even look good on women, all those chicks with those orange stains, that's horrible...
    And you want this? Come on.

    Do like the rest of us, go to the beach during the week-end (Plenty of sun these days), get top off and all, you will get colors in no time.

    Ever heard of doing something for yourself? Maybe he liked the look of the tan and decided to try for himself.
    Personally i know i when i go out and do things dress etc... it is for me not for the millions to think oh she looks well or for a guy to fancy me.If any one made a comment on my look or what i want says alot more about them then me;)If i went out to get a spray tan and people are all oh thats horrible but i dont care how much slagging etc.. i got as any man who goes out and gets it more then likely knows the shallow people who comment on what he looks like,shows that he does not care and is doing it for himself.
    Difference with them idiots is they have to look good for the masses, cause people put them up there on the pedestal and they are afraid to no longer be popular.They feed on the attention of others.Big difference about some normal every day person going to get a spray tan.

    Maybe he doesnt want to get skin cancer or maybe he doesnt want to make his skin like leather and old when he gets to a certain age.

    Let's not exagerate a bit of a sun bath has never harmed anyone.
    A bit of UV protection cream and you are sorted.

    Now I would be more inclined to think those spray could actually give you some sort of skin desease or even cancer...

    LOL ever heard of people who dont tan easy and perhaps he is getting photos done or heading off on a holiday and wants to feel good about himself.And have you ever seen the layers of your skin underneath under those lights? Dont you know you get hit by uv rays every dsay you are out whether sun is out or not? I am not in the mood to get scientific now.Also some people get the spray tan before they go away and then wear sun block to as they gradually get a tan to make them feel good ;)
    What ever the reason to make a pre judged comment about it and take the what others think is higher ground and think they are better than the person who is getting the spray tan,says more about the person doing the judging than the person who is been judged.

    Do you spend your days in a space suit or what, what is your problem with sun bath and all? Nobody needs a lesson about UV. You are allergic, fair enough, not need for all the drama.

    If he was a professional model or so, he would ask his photograph, he would know where to go if he needed a spray.

    And getting tan spray right before going to holydays is...how can I put that, oh well, whatever.

    Your body needs sun bath period, lots of things are happening to it, thanks to the sun.
    Of course, it has to be moderated exposure, otherwise your skin will get damaged. Nobody in this thread said you needed to get cooked under the sun.
