Ouch! These poor souls who fell asleep (we hope) in the sun were rewarded with some epic burns, UV rays-style. Nobody wants unsightly tan lines, but these people took their relaxing time in the sun to a whole new level. These aren't your run of the mill swimsuit lines, some of these people have happy faces and fun messages from their friends burned right onto their skin! 

It's very important to use sunscreen when you're spending time outside on a hot, sunny day, unless of course you want a burn like these. They're like tattoos, but made of fire.

Stay safe in the sun, everyone!
