You can completely pattern your skin thanks to tattoo technology already. I'd go for the pattern I have now anyhow: A cheesy white t-shirt pattern on my torso and a brown face and and arms.

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.
Louis Vuitton
A pattern that camouflages me from the threats of corporate greed and Capitalism as a whole.
Invisible. Since I'm that already for society.
Jadzia Dax had a nice spotty stripes combo going on. Think I'd start there.
If human skin was sometimes completely patterned
If?
Gingers would like to have a word with you.
Paisley. Blue.
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.
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
This results in you boxing your mirror, right?
This doesn't answer your question, but I just had a great idea for an art project which includes detailed applications of different protection levels of sunblock, and a tanning bed.
I guess stripes would be an easy place to start. Who wants to try it?

Welcome to the black tape project
How about making fake large aureola around male nipples. Always wondered if you could hide your nipples by tanning everything but your nipples.
Such a weird idea. I want to try it.
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.
Cool
Came here to say exactly this, only I wasn’t expecting to be anywhere as concise and erudite as you have been.
A leopard pattern would be cool.
Sounds like another thing to be racist about for typical dumb fuck populations.
That sort of confirms how cool the extra diversity would be!
Fractals.
I'd be down to be white and brown like a cow or horse, except that I know what vitiligo looks like with human skin and it doesn't really look good so I'd prefer just a solid color (don't care which color though).
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.
Holy shit! This dude's pluralising in Greek!
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
Black and white stripes to match my football ⚽ team.
I'd be down for any pattern if it came with bioluminescence.
Argyle
Can I have M05 camo?
I already develop a defined pattern during summer when my outer arms, legs, and back tan significantly faster and darker then my inner and chest regardless of how much sun I get. I think I'd like the same style but with a defined color difference, like Nigerian on the outside and Polish on the inside. Though if I got to pick Unnatural colors I'd go for charcoal grey outside and porcelain inside. Really accent my natural affinity for tattoos.
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.
Trill spots!
Well, I have freckles all over the place, so my pattern was chosen already.
One of those noodle labyrinths from kids menus. Entrance is my mouth, exit is... well you can figure that out.
Exit is your ear???
