It can also be caused by X-linked genes. If those genotypes produce different skin colours or react differently to skin diseases, you can see the lines directly. It looks like any visible form of mosaic disease may present along Blaschko's lines. permalink fedilink source parent [โ] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 year ago 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! permalink fedilink source parent [โ] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago Woah, that's fascinating! permalink fedilink source parent
