You're assuming that the aliens' vision can't detect our stripes.

The wikipedia article on humans is written like this and fun to read:
"Humans' thinner body hair and more productive sweat glands help avoid heat exhaustion while running for long distances."
"During sleep humans dream, where they experience sensory images and sounds"
"Humans commit violence on other humans at a rate comparable to other primates, but have an increased preference for killing adults, infanticide being more common among other primates."
Hey what about us mixed-race people? If the genes fell just right, would the stripes be visible on us?

Stretch marks are silver? They always look extra pink to me. Pinker than regular skin.

You can see "stripes" on humans in the infrared. Most of us are actually pretty splotchy. There is variation in how the blood vessels run which distributes the body heat on our skin unevenly. My Indian and African American coworkers' skin looks pretty much the same as mine (white guy) in the infrared.
There's genetic code that'd give them stripes but they're just the same colour as the rest of the skin
Ergo they're not stripes.
That's like saying paper has stripes because it's made from fibers of many different trees but since it's bleached (and also since tree fibers tend to look the exact same) you can't see them.
