Awesome question. Fortunately, we didn't have to give any members of the world's largest cat species a haircut to find out the answer! No.. the tiger's skin is indeed striped, just like his coat. And FUR your information, a leopard's spots and a jaguar's splotches also appear on their skin.

It depends on the type of tiger,
In some cases the belly is partially striped while the rest is white.

In other cases it's fully white, like with Bengal Tigers

And in some cases it's fully striped

I hope this helps.

No, the skin is not striped. The hair follicles color the stripes on the fur

actually their skin is striped too
[4] The stripe pattern is found on a tiger's skin and if you shaved one, you would find that its distinctive camouflage pattern would be preserved

I dont think so. I think a cub is born stripless but as they get bigger the strips appear. Zebras do though.
