Yes, that's basically what Tails is, bust I still don't understand your questions. is it more obvious using a tail than just using and regular IP and not pretending to be one? Are you asking if you'll stand out more for using Tor? Possibly, in China or Iran, or if LE is looking for a Tor user. Otherwise, no. ISPs don't generally log your browsing activity other than the amount of bandwidth you consume. if i was going to use a tail and i had access to a computer how likely is it to be traced back to the person using the tail? As likely as using Tor in any other situation. Tails doesn't increase or decrease the effectiveness of Tor.
