Squats causing marks

Everytime I do BB squats I get lines of broken blood vessles across my shoulders/back that last a few dayz. I use a pad. Any way to reduce this? I've ignored it for the past 4 years of training, but getting sick of the look...especially in the summer when I'm more likely to be shirtless.

I've always thought of those as battle bruises.
You can use a safety bar as shown here http://www.sportstrength.com/equip/harness.htm or I know some guys that use a sweatshirt wrapped around the bar a couple of times which seemed to help - tried it before and didnt care for it.

Maybe I'll just use lighter weights!
