I'm impressed. These dudes look really cool. And suave.


"A growing number of people in the UK are injecting themselves with an unlicensed tanning drug. Melanotan is still undergoing clinical trials but is sold illegally online and in salons and gyms. It is a synthetic hormone which stimulates the body's production of melanin, a substance that gives the skin its colour. Experts are worried that the long-term effects are not yet known."

  1. These fellas didn't use melanotan peptides to turn themselves this strange color. It's obvious that they used some sort of a DHA tanner due to the painted on appearance they have (particularly the one on the left with the unpainted white strip at his hair line).

    Here are some good articles about the melanotan peptides:
