Apparently this thing called "sunburn art" is trending on Twitter. People are posting pictures of the sun-made designs on their bodies, due to carefully applying sunscreen in the shape of flowers and Batman signs. They allow the rest of their body to burn, while the artfully created design remains protected.

No one can deny the beauty of the designs themselves, but there is something much darker than their tans at work here. The problem with this trend is the lack of common sense. According to Skincancer.org"One blistering sunburn in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person's chances of developing melanoma later in life. A person's risk for melanoma also doubles if he or she has had five or more sunburns at any age."

You only have one body. Treat it right. Apply sunscreen properly, and spread the word. This message brought to you by Sun of a Beach Music Festival.
