Tantoos–for the Truly Sun Worshipful
Tantoos are a new rage down in Texas. Today’s Wall Street Journal included this information, beginning with a story of how some Team Texas traveling high school wrestlers, on the eve of a match with rival Oklahoma, created Texas-shaped white spots by covering their hips and entering a tanning booth.
“I have a palm tree on my ankle and I get lots of, ‘that’s really cute,’ says one posting on a website, www.iamtan.com, a home of serious sun worshippers. The adhesive backing, often left in the booths, annoy tanning shop employees. Said one: “I certainly don’t want to pull off stupid Playboy Bunnies on my $5000 tanning bed.”
Michelle Bryant, 23, has spent more than $700 on lotion and spent more than 960 minutes beneath a UV lamp. But her proudest achievement is her heart tantoo, below her pants in stark relief to her otherwise bronzed body. The tantoo, she said, “is like saying yeah I’m dark.”

Where can I buy a tantoo? I remember them on the market about 10 years ago but I can’t find them anymore. Any suggestions?
