Blood in the syringe or did it simply bleed?

Sounds more likely that you just went through a vein and didn't actually inject into it. Doesn't sound like you have to worry.

I agree and if you inject directly into a vein you'll know it...for sure

You have nothing to worry about dude and as long as you aspirate , you will be fine.

I get this a lot and always aspirate , it usually happens I find when the air draws back into the syringe when I take a break from pressing the plunger in. I like to take my time over my shots and sometimes rest there with the pin in for 30seconds at a time to let the oil disappate. In all my shots I have only tasted oil in my mouth once which is a sign that some has got into a vein

after the needle is injected pull the plunger back a little to c if blood comes in the needle, if no blood then push in the juice.

Yep don't worry about the blood, happened to me all the time. I could usually tell when they were going to bleed because it felt like the needle was catching on bits of tissue as I slid it in.

Sometimes you can push a little extra at the end and as you release pressure from the plunger it actually sucks a little blood up the needle.

Have you thought about injecting in your thigh until you get a little more comfortable with the whole process?
