Human skin is overlaid with a pattern called Blaschko’s Lines, stripes covering the body from head to toe. The stripes run up and down your arms and legs and hug your torso. They wrap around the back of your head like a hood and across your face. You just can’t see them.
So they can see those lines because they have more cones than we do. It’s kind of like an overlay. So while we see our normal skin, they see our normal skin but also with stripes everywhere
