I'm not positive but I think you would definitely be able to tan, the only thing they might ask is for a parental consent or something.. But that wouldn't be a big deal if your mom didn't mind coming in and signing something.
Where I'm from, the typical prices for different plans are like .. $30-50 a month, but you can also pay for 10 unlimited visits for about $40.
I think I tanned for the first time when I was 12 or 13, so I don't think you will have a hard time at all, and probably won't think the beds are very hot. Just don't get any of the "tingle" tanning lotion, it increases blood flow at the skin level and makes you feel really tingly all over, reallllly hot, and when you get out it leaves you red all over for like an hour... it makes me feel like i've got a temporary fever. BUT the plus side is that it makes you tan like 10 times faster.

You can go in your swimsuit, this will give you tan lines though so if you want an all over even tan, it's perfectly fine to not wear anything, lots of people choose this option.

Generally the first few times you go you'd want to only go 5 or 6 minutes to 8 to 10 and then so on. You just dont want to burn right from the start. Just ask the person at the desk how many they recommend.

I hope this helps, but beware, it becomes addicting!

your prolly too young and if you aren't you NEED a parents singnature. and its pretty damn expensive and with tanning lotion and eye glasses. it gets pretty hot when you've been in there after about five mintues and you can just go in your under wear and bra or naked if you want. and you will prolly go for like 3-5 mintues your first time depending on how fair you are.

The real issue isn't whether its legal or not, its whether its a good idea or not (probably not). Do you really want your skin to age quickly? (you may not be thinking about that now as you are still quite young but you should be thinking about the long-term health consequences) There's nothing wrong with being white. Be proud of who you are.

its not illegal but some places dont allow it but most place can not tell you that u cant there escpecialy with parental permission

First, since you're relatively young it's best to understand that tanning can cause mild to severe problems down the road if done in excess, (Skin cancer, melanoma, etc...) But if you do it in moderation you should be ok.

It's not illegal to tan at 15, however it is up to the discretion of the owner of the tanning place whether or not you can go there by yourself. Also, a guardian will most definitely need to be there to sign you up, as most places require a credit card to sign up for a membership. Memberships also range anywhere from 20 to 50 dollars a month, depending on where you live.

Beds do not get hot at all.

You can tan in a suit or nude, it's up to you. The rooms are always private with locks.

The person at the desk will tell you how long to tan depending on your skin color/complexion/etc..

Hope that helps!

probably not illegal and you have so many more years in which to ruin your skin if you start now. why not use a tanning cream instead? and BTW white is fine and very classy. look in the fashion mags.

This is not a rude answer, but I think it would be a dumb thing to do. Not good for your skin--and most skin cancers start when you are young, but don't show up for years.

call some places and find out the age,to start its usually about 10 to 15 minutes.you can go either w/ a bathing suit or nude.
