It is patterned for some people: Freckles, moles, vitiligo, etc.
There are patterns we can’t even perceive too.
For the purpose of answering the question though, I’d want chromataphors I can change at will!
My understanding is most odd us do have these patterns, we just can’t see them.
Yep, there’s a good chunk of the light spectrum we can’t perceive and so the patterns that reflect them are invisible to us.
Human skin actually does have a pattern, we’re striped. But usually it’s skin coloured stipes on a skin coloured background so it’s hard to see.
Came here to say exactly this, only I wasn’t expecting to be anywhere as concise and erudite as you have been.
Cool
I’d be down for any pattern if it came with bioluminescence.
Skin glows blue when orcs are near
I rescind my previous answer, I want glowy
I would like to be number three since it looks the most made up.
Why settle for one? In that case, squid skin and change color as you see fit.
Sounds like another thing to be racist about for typical dumb fuck populations.
That sort of confirms how cool the extra diversity would be!
Left half of my face black, right half of my face white. Then I could fight those no good people who have a black right side of their face and white left side.
This results in you boxing your mirror, right?
Damn Zetsu didn’t know you hated yourself that much
Great, now you just need a planet with a green sky that looks suspiciously like a studio background
Can I have M05 camo?
If human skin was sometimes completely patterned
If?
Gingers would like to have a word with you.
I’d like the color and texture shifting of octopodes. That would be pretty fucking cool.
After that, maybe stripes. Spots are something some humans have and it’s a mixed bag.
Dated a Jamaican woman with a bit of vitiligo. She was wildly attractive to me without being “pretty” in any conventional sense.
5’10", 110lbs. Kinky hair, but not a fro. Dark and light skin, and not just the lighter areas, all at once.
LOL, I could go on. She was a beautiful, smart and interesting woman. With spots.
I was thinking of this - thanks, I couldn’t remember the condition. I’d want somewhat random information after a so it can’t become another version of racism
Holy shit! This dude’s pluralising in Greek!

Subdermal chromatophore neuromod costs 9 canisters of nanites.
Works on biological opponents but mechs will still spot you (and you can only slot either that mod or thermoptic camouflage, unless you go black market, but the seepage rate is way too high for my tastes)
Jadzia Dax had a nice spotty stripes combo going on. Think I’d start there.
Humans actually have stripes but they’re usually invisible unless you are a human chimera or have some other fetal development issues. They trace the path that embryonic stem cells took to make your skin in the womb.
Anyway, I’d just make those visible.
A leopard pattern would be cool.
