Well, go to the link to see. With all the medical threads here, this one could fit in as well. A bit alarming to look at. A bit trivial but what the heck.

    and they're hereditary, rather than cycling related.

    could be a pretty gruesome sight if he hurt them in a crash, seen some rather nasty bleeds from a tiny nick on a varicose vein :shock:

    It's art, like a tattoo :roll: .

    Valves higher up must be faulty or larger veins have restricted flow so pressure builds up in the lower smalller veins causing them to bulge.
