why do some people veins stick out more than others?
Has anybody got any tips when you have not had enough sleep?
Answers:
If you hold your arm up over your head and look at the veins in your hand you will see them almost disappear and then when you hold them down they will get big and fill up with blood! Some people have veins that you can see because there is less fat between the vein and the skin - but all people have veins in there somewhere. Men usually have bigger veins that stick out on their arms than women. I've heard that it is because women have more fat than men. Some people have lots of little veins and some people have fewer bigger veins. When you are exercising or hot your veins will get bigger because that is one way the body cools. If you feel your arm, the skin can feel solid and dense, but when you feel (or palpate) a vein it feels bouncy. That is because veins are made up of elastic connective tissue. That bouncy feel is how people that draw blood (phlebotomists) find a vein - they go by feel rather than appearance.

It is hereditary, sometimes from other factors such a giving birth etc.
hereditary and other things like blood pressure, how much exercize a person gets, what they eat, if they have a disease or age can contribute to how your veins look.

veins are hereditary, or also pumping the iron your veins grow as your body needs more blood circulation to keep up with your exercise.
God had nothing to do with that, jess.

Some people have varicose veins, which is a condition that makes them "stick out". The valves don't function properly, and blood pools in certain spots instead of flowng freely. This is especially seen in older people, and people who have spent a lot of time on their feet over the years. However, there is a normal variation in how close the veins are to the surface of the skin; that accounts for a lot of differences. Notice on the backs of your hands---those veins often "stand up", because the are very close to the skin there, whereas other veins in your body are buried deeper in the tissue and can't be seen under normal circumstances.

Hi, my nick is Cute Singapore-Air Stewardess, I would like to answer your question with my own experience. However, it really depende on which part of body do you want to ask? Since you don't mention specifically, I will address the topic, to the hand-part.
We all originally have hands without "too" obvious bluish veins. Some people find such issue as anoying, especially girls. When you said veins stick out more, it will mean worst nightmare for the girls. Meanwhile, some tough men love to have it as sign of their masculinity. However, some young urban-boys of this days, with their feminine-cultures, they despise the veins.
From my experience, most of stewardess I met, have this kind of veiny syndrome. We work lots with our hands. We pushed trolleys, carried some heavy trays during logistic check-lists, and et cetera. In addition to the weight, we have to speed our works in order to serve passengers fast.
Somehow I discover something to my hands.
When I feel stressful, thinking of some problems in my life while working, the veins appear more. When I succumb to my food-intakes more, due to my depressions, my veins appear more.
I tried to compare with my colleagues' hands. The genetically skinny friend and the genetically healthy meaty friend. All are stewardesses. The fat one has more fats to hide their veins. The skinny one is just like mine. I was panic.
I consulted to a doctor. Here and there. They said go to a Laser expert. Laser expert said go to this and that. Nobody can save my veins. I cried in the toilet. It seemed that it is not reversible for good. I have to live with my veiny veins forever my life.
Then one day, I incidentally visited a spa center. They massaged my body, fully with oil. It was just an ordinary oil. The massage was so good, until I fell aslept on the cushion, relaxed, next to the spa pool, under small speakers whispering some tunes from ENYA meditative collection. Believe it or not, the sticking out major-veins gradually disappear from my hands. These days, I can work with no more veins in my hands.
It doesn't take plastic surgery or laser doctor.
I met a passenger on my airplane once. She is a trans-sexual from US. She had just had her surgery done in Asia, and she was about to return home to San Fransisco. The plane stopped over in one of Asian capital city. She shared her story with me during transit. She sobbed. She told me about her hands. She wanted to have a more feminine life, but failed when it comes to the matter of her sticking-out veiny hands.
She cried to me, that she had tried to go to many doctors in US but no one could help me. Apparently, she was a heavy-industry laborer before her surgery.
I told her my experience with my own veins. I suggested her to take some relaxation therapy with full body oil-massage in any Spa center in US, and tried to forget life-difficulties, traumatic burdens, et cetera.
She wrote me an email, two months later. She posted her smiling photo showing her hands to me. I feel great, because, she can live whatever she wants to be according to her grand design. Her sticking out veins had been cured, because of relaxed state of mind, and oil-massage.
I hope I manage to answer your "Why" question, along with provided solution of "How" to get rid of it.
Thank you, have a nice day.
