The following three queries are equivalent, and work for both DATETIME and TIMESTAMP columns:
mysql>
mysql> CREATE TABLE mytable
    -> (
    ->  ts      TIMESTAMP NOT NULL
    -> );
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql>
mysql>
mysql> INSERT INTO mytable(ts) VALUES (NOW() - INTERVAL 10 DAY);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO mytable(ts) VALUES (NOW() - INTERVAL 9 DAY);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> INSERT INTO mytable(ts) VALUES (NOW() - INTERVAL 8 DAY);
