Could be normal.: Does it look like either of your parents or siblings?Normal veins can be prominent and have this color,depending on your skin tone,muscularity,and amount of body fat.As long as there is no pain,swelling,redness,bruising,new veins...this could all be normal.Age related changes ,over time,can cause more prominent looking veins and veracose veins,usually on the legs,can develop.Show a doc to b sure.
