Right. I do use some thumping and tapping in various songs, but I generally use the side of my thumb on the pickguard. If you tap the guitar any place else, eventually you'll leave a mark, even if it isn't visually apparent the first few times you do it.
The guitars owned by those who make aggressive tapping and other percussive sounds a large part of their musical style invariably show it.
