Well, reading this discussion gave me a good laugh anyway. On to the subject in question, yes I think (padding in particular, I think a flat surface would work best for imprinting the pattern) a spanking through fishnet tights only would leave a pattern, however the whole idea of it leaves me cold, who wears tights with no knickers (panties for you Americans)? Urgh! Now fishnet stockings (suspenders or hold ups, I like both) are another matter altogether but ain't likely to leave a pattern on the sub's ass, LOL!
On the subject of patterns, I saw a nice paddle the other day with a heart-shaped cut-out, according to reviews on the site it does leave an imprint if you use it hard enough, sounds a bit more to my taste
