Painful Sunburnt Patterns

The Worst Tanning Disasters Captured in Photos

I thought my sunburn was bad this past weekend, but the images in the gallery above show some of the worst tanning disasters I’ve seen in a while.

The guys with bikini lines, a superman pattern and a hand print, all seem to be pretty happy and proud about their sunburns, but the sight is not pretty at all. Of course, the gallery also includes the Gotti brothers, who are (more-or-less) known for their red faces.
