visible veins
Skin-surface blood vessels
Visible veins are veins that can be seen through the skin, appearing as blue or greenish lines.
Some people naturally have more prominent veins due to pale or thin skin, low body fat, or genetics.
In fitness contexts, visible veins—especially on arms and abdomen—signal leanness and are often considered a mark of physical conditioning: He's so cut you can see every vein.
