Mmm I'm not really over Zealous, I think it's the persons right to choose to damage themselves, and I don't hold it against anyone. I just personally think it's stupid. My mother looks like a leather hand bag because she tans 20 minutes EVERY SINGLE day pretty much, and it's gross.

There's an opposite problem that is being seen more now, of people who don't get enough sunlight on their bodies and get deficient in vitamin D. You don't need much sunlight, nor much uncovered area, to get enough vitamin D, but people who stay indoors all winter and never get out can get not enough sun, as can Muslim women who wear the full face covering.

It is technically damaging. And intentionally damaging your skin to be 'be cool' or 'look better' is a little stupid, because it all adds up over time.
