This is a cautionary tale about tanning and crying.

17-year-old high schooler Skyler Davis decided to get her first ever spray tan for her senior prom.

Unfortunately, after happily leaving the tanning salon with a healthy glow, Davis and her boyfriend got into a disagreement. This led to a few tears.

It also led to a very streaky spray tan.

“As soon as my tears started coming, I saw I had no tissues in my car and knew I was doomed," she told The Mirror.

A photo of Davis' stripey face and neck was posted to Imgur and the image now has over 4 million views.

According to The Mirror, Davis was able to shower off the spray tan. She also went in for a touch up right before the big dance.

Apparently she also made up with boyfriend Chris, as the two posted some cute, streak-free prom photos to Instagram.

Luckily, the spray tan looks flawless.
