In depth open ended thought provoking questions like should really be in DaystromInstitute
Yeh. I just feel like this is one of those questions that’s so dumb it doesn’t belong on Daystrom.
He lives in a starship and isn’t bothered about sunbathing. He’s a nerd.
Boims is an indoor kid
Its the same condition that turns his hair purple, he’s really sensitive about it

A funny answer. On a more serious note, it is confirmed Boimler dyes his hair purple in LD 3x01 “Grounded”.
Pretty sure Boims would wear suncreen at all times and re-apply at least five times a day, every day.

While a part of me has every confidence that young Boimler would be depicted as equally pale, tans fade away if not maintained by lifestyle or choice, and Boimler has been in Starfleet for a bit now.
This feels like the most reasonable answer, honestly. I hadn’t considered it because I live in the Southwestern US and often get a lot of sun exposure.
