Tanning injections, or the process of injecting melanotan into the skin in order for it to produce more melanin, is a dangerous process that can take a serious toll on the skin and the health of the taker.

Besides artificial simulation of melanin, which can produce melanoma in the user, tanning injections have a number of problematic social and physical side-effects. Dermatologists warn that the injection can cause infection, kidney failure, skin cancer, and erectile dysfunction.

Some people choose to go through with the procedure anyway.

TikToker @dylanwright4 revealed a picture of himself from 2014 wherein he'd used tanning injections.

The result was questionable. “It is so bad, I want to give you a zero," echoes Tyra Banks' voice from America's Next Top Model in the background.

"But that’s not possible, so I give you a one.”

Dylan Wright said that his skin was never the same after the injections.

“The doctors called me an idiot and told me it’s a side effect from the drug, but now I’m stuck with [freckles],” he said.

“I’ve got freckles like I’m in my 50s or 60s. It feels like my skin’s aged.”

Wright spent most of his time commenting on replies to the video, assuring people that getting the injections was not worth it.

“It was so embarrassing. People staring, like I had something severely wrong with me! The bleached hair didn’t help. I looked like a pint of Guinness!”


Wright said that he hopes others learn from his mistake and don't get tanning injections--he doesn't want anybody's skin becoming as damaged as his.

Larry David's New Satirical Essay Mocking Democratic Socialists Isn't Sitting Well With People

Seinfeld co-creator and Curb Your Enthusiasm star Larry David took aim at the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) in a new satirical essay for Air Mail. But rather than people finding humor in his latest effort at comedy, there have been a lot of "OK, Boomer" reactions to the 79-year-old David.

In his essay, David trots out a lot of the same rhetoric employed by MAGA Republicans in their attack ads, on social media, and in debates with Democratic candidates—even if they can't even define what socialism is.

Within our communities, it's important to make everyone feel welcome and included, and sometimes that means making changes so that everyone can afford to be included. But sometimes changes are made simply because someone with the power to change it doesn't want to do something.

The question is whether changes are being made for inclusivity or convenience.
