Hi Pwcca,

Quote
If I spend several months tanning and then conceive a child, only to lose my tan weeks later from no longer spending time in the sun, what natural pigmentation will my child have?
Moreover, if I lose my tan will my child then lose their tan as well? What happens if a mother gets tan halfway through the 9 month pregnancy? Will the child become half tan? Will only parts of their body be tan while others remain pale?

Interesting questions, and it will be interesting to see Russ's answers. Let me add another:

If tans are hereditary does that mean that boys will inherit their mothers tan lines? I've never seen a boy with a bikini top tan.

Enjoy.
