How do judges see stretch marks.

[silverback66]

My biggest question is how do judges react to stretch marks? I'm still a ways off from being in any kind of contest shape but the fact that I have a good amount of stretch marks, mostly from when I was a fat ass, has been a big deterrent to wanting to step on stage. At a distance and with a tan they are much less noticeable but my lats, armpits and stomach have a good amount of them. Most are light and not noticeable unless you are really looking close but the ones on my chest/armpit/biceps are pretty dark.

I am aware that they don't just go away so that's not so much a question on my mind. I've never had a spray tan or a "contest dark" tan but I'd imagine they would be much less visible. But in the event that they are visible is it something judges might dock you for?
