Brief Answer:
Both appear to be normal, get clinical examination done

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photograph.
I can appreciate few dark spots underneath his tongue. They appear to be normal but still I would recommend you to consult an otolaryngologist to get it examined clinically that is on inspection and palpation.
The dark veins are normal as the mucosa in some individuals is thin and the veins look prominent.
Regards
Dr Asmeet
