perma- +‎ tan

Noun

permatan (plural permatans)

  1. (colloquial) A perpetual tan.
    • 2008, Alex Cole, Resistance:
      His permatan, and his vanity, were his weakness. I needed a picture of him, and it needed to be as unflattering as possible. Moving my train of thought on a bit, I reasoned that he must also be a lover of natural sunbathing.
    • 2010, John Williams, Miss Shirley Bassey:
      Shirley Bassey's culture seemed to be that of international showbiz, and her natural skin tone not that far different from the permatan of a Sacha Distel or Cliff Richard.

      Her hair was short and white-blonde, to set off her aggressive permatan, and she had soft cheeks and large grey eyes.
