Actually you can see them even more if you tan.

I am very fair skinned and you can barely see mine, but when I tanned this summer (on the breasts) they stuck out horribly.

It seems to be because once the marks fade, they turn very white. And with the tan over it, they stick out like white lines on a chalk board.

I guess everybody's body is different, mine blend in better with a tan and I've seen others say that.

Some of them are kinda silvery though and in some spots they don't blend, but the darker ones look much better.

Yeah they get lighter as they are older and start to fade.

Most of mine are silvery so that explains why they don't blend. Though some of my dark ones probably do blend when I tan, I just don't see them so I don't notice.
