What's wild is us humans are stripped and spotted, like cows, but you can only see it in ultraviolet.
They're called Blaschko's lines and they're invisible to our eyes.
Wtf i want a checker pattern, is there a way to tell which one you got without giving yourself skin cancer?
It's not true, it took 10 seconds to make that obvious with a quick search.
This is false information, and easily found to be so. Just searching "blaschko lines uv light" gives several results saying it's not true, and that there is never a source for that information in the articles, videos etc. that say it. It should also be obvious it's not true just by most people's experience, seeing people under UV light, via everything from clubs, movies, art, etc. isn't rare at all, and you never see these lines.
Check anything you say before doing so, we are all bombarded with misinformation from malicious intent already, no need to pile onto that with misinformation from ignorance.
