Yes, it's true—when you shave a tiger, you can still see its stripe pattern on the skin underneath, just like in the image you shared.

This happens because the pigmentation that forms the stripes is present in both the fur and the skin, so the pattern remains visible even without fur—it's not just an illusion or a trick of the light, but a real biological feature unique to each tiger, almost like a fingerprint.
