Power-tanning 

In efforts to get a tan by direct sun-exposure, one knowingly avoids high SPF values in order to get a darker skin-color ASAP. This usually means risking a sunburn. However, burnt skin will gradually turn tan.
Girl 1: Hey, you should apply some sunscreen. You're gonna get a sunburn.

Girl 2: That's OK, I'm power-tanning.

tanning injections 

Tanning injections refer to the injection of one of the melanotan peptides (melanotan-1 and melanotan II) to develop pigmentation in one's skin thus allowing individuals who ordinarily cannot tan or have difficulty doing so (fitzpatrick skin type I and type II, ie: redheads and gingers) to be able to do so.
