Interesting.  One of the enduring mysteries about melanotan II is the optimal dose.  It has been clearly demonstrated that low doses, in the range or 0.3 to 0.5 mg/day, can produce extremely dark tans over time.  The unanswered question is, can much larger doses produce even darker tans much more quickly?
 
I have tended to believe that there is a limit on how much the body use at one time and that taking more is just wasting money because the body cannot absorb it all.  But the story above suggests the opposite.  Of course, the solarium owner may not have the story straight.
 
I take a dose of 0.5 mg about 4 to 6 times a week, and it has given me a very dark tan.  I just saw a photo of myself with about 20 other people on a bike ride.  My tan was very clearly the darkest.  In fact, it was not even close.  My tan stood out separately as distinctly darker than anyone else's.  
 
This proves that for me at least, low doses over time are extremely effective.  I have never tried larger doses, so I don't know what the effect would be.  It's tempting to try, although I might start to look strange for a blue-eyed blond.

We know nothing about this person or if it actually happened like described. In any case, I would guess that a type 3 or above could easily turn black with a huge dose very fast.  
 
Sideways had started experimenting with big dosages some years ago, but then vanished. He came back with a few unrelated comments, but never commented on his experiment again as far as  i know.

i've takem 4mgs per day (2x 2mg's shot)
 
no difference whatsoever, in fact taking .5mg gives the same effect if not a lower dose,
 
but! its time thats needed to build up the tan, not a high dose, a benefit of a lower dose is ,less hyperpigmentation, and your beard hair wont darken as much
 
there is a law of diminishing returns!
 
 
bullet.

Who can take 10mg and not get deathly sick?
