Epic Tanning Fails

Ridiculous Sunburns That Makes You Want to Reach for Aloe Vera

OUCH! Talk about epic tanning fails. Some of these sunburns must have really hurt, but honestly, you think people would be a little more aware of the whole skin damage issue by now.

Thankfully, for the interests of our entertainment, they are not, so this rogue gallery shows some of the best pictures of epic tanning fails out there.

Being 2009, there is, of course, a sunburn flickr group which is well worth a browse. I am over the whole body art through suntan lotion craze, but even I have to admit there are some corkers on here.
