And they are not stripes! Look closely and they are elongated spots

My whole life has been a lie!

That's how it works for other mammals as well. Your dog has spots? Shave it and it will still have spots.

Hair, believe it or not, does go below the skin slightly!

Its a bit different though. The skin actually has pigmentation there. Its not just the hair showing through.

Not the case for most house cats

You're doing pussy shaving wrong.

1 hour border Collie had surgery, I saw that where her fur was white, the skin was pink, and where the fur was black, the skin was also black.

Interesting side fact I learned from a podcast: It was Alan Turing who first had a theory about how the stripes are created. https://phys.org/news/2012-02-alan-turing-1950s-tiger-stripe.html

Fun fact: you know those spots some animals have, like leopards or dalmatians? Humans do not have them.

If you could figure out what your pattern was, and were the total body tattoo type, it would be cool as fuck to get a full body tattoo of your individual invisible (now visible, I guess) uniquely you skin pattern!

Woah, that's fascinating!

Well now I don't know who to trust

Ride the tiger! You can see his stripes but you know he's clean ...
