• X-Factor

  Nice pattern though.

• Impenetrable To Everything But UV Rays

  It’s worth the pain because this kid is gonna have the sweetest default pic on Facebook.

• Bikini Tan

  Doesn’t look too bad on him though.

• Handprint

  Ouch.

• Smiley Face

  That is actually pretty impressive. He should consider it for his next tattoo.

• Back Burn

  This is why it’s always important to have someone else apply sunblock to your back.

• Thigh High Stockings

  Guy must’ve been wearing the same pair of skin-tight short shorts for a month to get a tan line like that.

• Speedo FAIL

  Not sure what’s worse: what he’s wearing now, or the booty shorts he normally wears to the beach. Either way, it’s clear what each looks like.

• Alternate Bathing Suit

  We’re glad he’s gone the more traditional route today.

• Rubin Vase

  This tan may be nature telling him to stop wearing whatever kind of shirt that is.

• Belly Smile

  He seems a little too happy about this.

• Champ Stamp?

  Pain and embarrassment should speak for themselves here.

• How?

  Is that the shape of a shirt or just poor sunblock application?

• Patterned Sunburn

  Actually looks kind of cool in a really painful way.

• Bunny Ears

  That’ll be interesting when she starts peeling.

• Sore Feet

  Can’t forget about your feet.

• Hard To Reach Spot

  It is a really tough part of the back to get to. Never be afraid to ask for some sunblock help.

• Tan Stripes

  Worn with honor.

• Sleepy

  Clearly she passed out on the beach. Now she’s passed out on the floor. After she buys some aloe, she should see a doctor about narcolepsy.

• He Sucks

  This is why you don’t shotgun 10 beers on the beach with your frat brothers.

• Artistic Burn

  Further evidence that there are some spots on your back you just can’t reach.

• Nice Hat

  Oh, nevermind.

• Neck Burn

  Can’t forget the neck.

• Nice Handwriting

  Surprisingly legible.

• Which Way?

  Just draw two dots and that dangly red thing on the thumb, and he’s got a hand turkey.

• Hand On Your Shoulder

  Just don’t leave it there that long.

• Think There’s Something On Your Back

  He must have nice friends.

• Pretty Big Burn

  Size matters in this case.

• Peace

  What a peace-loving way to burn half of the skin off your back.
