NO!!!!!!!!!!
the tanning bed is bad for everyone but for a 12 yr old.....
she will have so many wrinkles by the age of 20.
also it is a proven fact that the tanning bed is bad!
first of all why is she tanning in the tanning bed? she is 12. i can understand high school students for prom and stuff.
i provided some links below for you to read up on how bad "fake baking" is.

It depends on what the parents think. The only problem;em with tanning bed and tanning is that as an adult you are more perceptible of getting skin cancer and age spots. Hope that helps. Personally I would never try to get a tan unless I was outside all of the time and I would kill my cousin for going to a tanning bed. Just my opinion.

i went to a tanning salon and im 13. but my parents just yelled at me cus i would get cancer now. it is also not that much of a fun thing to do save the time and get a rub on tan you can also even put a peice of paper on your skin (you know like and a heart shape or something) and rub around it so it looks like it was a real tanning bed that you got tanned by. but overall id say no

NO!!! are you kidding? If you want to give her a running start to skin cancer go right ahead. tanning beds are not smart for anyone of any age to do. especially not a child. she will be at high risk for skin cancer if she gets into that habit so early in life.

Tanning beds are dangerous at any age , i don't recommend it ! you will develope skin spots , broken cappillareis on your body from over exposure to the beds , not to mention dried out skin, sun burn. It is not a good idea.

No. Because tanning beds concentrate ultra-violet light, they multiply your chances of getting skin cancer. Also, a tan might seem like it looks cute, etc., but when she gets older she will have skin that looks like this: http://www.derm101.com/images/atlas/at002g54a.jpg You do not want your young cousin to look like that! And you don't want her to get cancer. Hope this helps!

Personaly I think you should just go to miami if she wants a tan.
Or use tanning creams, It IS okay for her but still still only 99.9%
safe for anyone. (I don't know for sure about the 99.9% safe thing, I just added it)

NO! She should not be that concerned with being tan plus it causes cancer.
