Guys base on your experience, What is the percentage of not hitting a vein in injection sites such as 1.glutes 2.quads 3. deltoids 4. pecs 5. biceps? where is the best site to inject? can u give sample rotations?

Ive never hit a vein ever... I use glutes, quads and delts, no pecs.

Hitting a vein can happen and isnt dangerous as long as you aspirate and dont inject INTO a vein.

I would do thigh because I cant see back there. Alternate each leg.

ass is easy... upper outer quadrant... make a dot where you want the needle to go and the rest is history.

Uh I wouldn't mark the skin with a dot and then plunge a needle through it, if you're just using it for a general target then aim a bit to the side. Unlikely that ink would be pushed in by the pin and cause an abcess or some other infection, but it's still not worth the risk imho.

Delts and glutes are the easiest to do without a problem.

I'd be more worried about hitting a nerve than a vein.

how do you know when you have hit a vein?

pull the plunger once the needles in, if you see blood....aaaahhh! you are in a vein.

I often nick veins on the way in/out which causes bleeding and a lil blood in the tip of the syringe
