I have a random theory about discoloration and its permanence. Nothing to back it up really, but just some thoughts. Pumping forces the blood up from its normal levels. In the case of bursting veins, that blood begins below the skin but gets pushed/pulled upwards. This forces it into areas that aren’t normally made for blood flow. Conversely, a tattoo is permanent because ink on a needle is pressed through the first layers of skin. the reason a tattoo becomes permanent is that it is underneath the layers of skin that grow and shed. Over time it will lose color and definition, but for the most part once it’s there, it’s there. Similarly, the discoloration of pumping begins within and rises to the top. Because of this, blood cells get trapped in those same layers as tattoos. Those blood cells darken and create the discoloration, and just like a tattoo, you can’t wipe them away. Like I said, just some thoughts.
