It's common.
You just knicked a vein

if you bled after poking yourself with a needle then I think something is seriously wrong. Do you feel ok?

a small question to add... if you jab your glute lets say and you pull out and theres some blood, your supposed to rejab right until you pull out nothing? Should the needle be replaced then? Just curious

I would always change the pin but thats just me...

????? Do you mean inject and then pull out and get blood or are you saying you get blood when you aspirate ? If you get blood when you aspirate then you need to pull out and re-inject, I would replace the needle, one because of sanitary reasons, two because the needle became a little dull injecting the 1st time.

I bled some many times after injections I lost count, most is because I have scar tissue so it happens.

A little blood never hurt anyone.

yeah i agree with you guys , the needle will get a bit dull from the first injection. Ive heard if you pull out blood with the plunger to rejab as thats not an injection youd want to continue. if this happens ill pull out and change needle as i dont need an infection in my ass haha

So you're saying that if you replace the needle it's okay to re-inject the blood and substance back in? I've read that if you draw blood you should throw away needle AND syringe and then start over.

^^^agree^^^^
What is in the syringe is still clean, it's your blood. Do not throw away your stuff. Just replace the needle and re-clean the area your injecting in.
