Default CANCER!!?@?!@?!@! and Welding safety

I’m a noob when it comes to welding so I’m just wondering if you guys can give me some safety welding tips ? Like at Harbor Freight they got like a whole leather sleeve thing and leather apron and stuff should I invest in that? I heard u can get like a tan or even skin cancer due to exposure to the welding sparks. I definitely wanna get that cool looking auto-darkening helmet but anything else I need? Full leather suit??

You should get the full coat, gloves, autodark helmet, wear sunglasses underneath anyway. Be sure your helmet has a back on it.

I agree with long sleeves and a helmet, that should be enough. Gloves are also good sometimes.
