The veins are just under the skin.

The skin on the back of your hands is extremely delicate. This skin is very, very thin, there is almost no fat under it at all, which is why the veins are so visible.
As we grow older, any fat that is there lessens; the skin becomes dry and loose, exposing the veins even more. As if that’s not enough, on top of it all, we begin to develop ugly age spots and sunspots

Primarily because veins are superficially located beneath the skin so it is easily seen. On the otherhand, arteries are deeply located below the veins and also muscles/fats.

Good query. I do not know the precise main points, however it is whatever alongside the traces of the colour being transformed by way of the tissues among the blood and the outside of your dermis. I feel the vessels themselves have a bluish tinge. P.S. I feel Gabe could have requested the flawed individual. Blood remains to be pink within the frame. Remember, it is hemoglobin and iron compounds that flip the blood pink, now not touch with oxygen or anything. Hold an orange sheet over your head within the afternoon, and the sunshine coming all the way down to you're going to seem orange.

veins are superficially placed in the body but arteries are deeply placed in the body.
