Sub-Q injection question

[RoadToHuge]

When doing sub-Q injections, is the goal to make a bubble on the skin, or is ik ok to go thru the skin into a fat deposit in the belly area? I use 5/8 slin needles and want to make sure I am pinning the HGH right. When I pull the needle out a little, I get a surface bruise. Is this ok, ok am I fine pinning into the fat deposit? I generally grab some skin by the belly button an few inchs away, pin and done. Should I be pinning shalower?

go deep. into the fat.

making a bubble in the skin is called intradermal injection. not subcutaneous.

Get the needle under the fat between the fat layer and the muscle, subq. If you're lean 5/8" is ok, I use 1/2" myself.
