Why do some skateboarders cut patterns into their grip tape?

Cutting Patterns Into Your Grip Tape

Experienced skateboarders sometimes cut patterns and shapes into their grip tape before applying it to their boards. This not only serves to make their boards more uniquely individual, but has some practical use as well. The pattern lets them quickly discern the nose from the tail of their skateboard.

Some skateboarders also use cuts and designs to mark foot placement. (Pretty funny if you ask me)
