blue veins

Right now I am at a really low body fat, I would guess around 5-6%, I have veins showing all over, but they show through my skin very blue, does any one else get this?

There is one vein that is about 12 inches long across my left delt and chest that is very blue, is this normal because my skin is really thin at this body fat, or is there something wrong?

Oh yeah, I forgot I thought I just needed a tan, but have gotten one, and they still show through blue.

When I was on fina and Prop mine were purple up in my neck and delt area. A really deep purple.

I did just come off fina, my veins usually don't show very well except in bi's/forearms, but right now veins in my arms, forearms, chest, delts, and legs are all sticking out, and are all blue. My chest/delts are especially bad.

The reason they appear blue is because their veins. The blood in them is very dark, almost purple. The blood you see has hit the air, and released CO2 for O2. The arteries have this bright red blood, but they are deeper where they are safer from injury. The reason being, they are at a higher pressure, and more inportant to the body's survival. Worse to sever an artery than a vein. Before I get flamed, I remember the pulmonary vein is the exception. .
Good lifting...
P.S., if you have ever been around radiation, the real reason is the green blood looks blue through the skin...otherwise your fine.

I know the veins in your body are blue, before they have always stuck out in my biceps and forearms, but mine have always been flesh colored, never been blue, granted my body fat is lower than ever.

I am probably freaking out over nothing, but it just kind of worried me, that they changed in color. It might have had something to do with the fina, like McGuyver said.

if you had done something to yourself to change your blood composition so significantly, you'd be dead now. I think your first assessment of why this was so (low BF and thin vessel walls) may be the best bet. Keep tanning, most guys even out the color by doing that.
