You want to be brown SO MUCH that you are willing to risk death for it? Maybe you should take a look at your motivations!
Tanning beds at least double your probability of getting skin cancer.

I don't know how common it is but my brother was diagnosed with melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer) and he went often, I mean at least once a month. I've talked to my dermatologist about this and he said that tanning beds are worse than the sun. If you want to have some color there are salons that will put the tanning lotion on you, by hand...it's more natural looking than the spray on tans. Avoid tanning beds please.

About as common as it is to get it from going in the sun to much. The long term affects on tanning are not good for the body. When you get older your skin will look like leather.
