    pins

    hey all , erm picked up pins today from health clinic and ive got pins to draw out and 1.5' 23g , and 1" 25g pins , i know 23g should be shot in the glute and 25g 1 inchers should be for delts tried looking up a few places nobody seems to stock 1.5 inch 25g pins so my main question would be if you wanted to shoot in the thigh would 1 inch be sufficient or would it not be deep enough or would i have to use the 23g pins? thanks

    You must go deep as about 1 inch in the muscle. Try in the leg.

    Oil or water? 1" is fine for your delts 23 is good 25 almost looks like an insulin needle you will spend half a day drawing out the oil w/ 25g

    I've heard of people using 5/8 for delts, personally 1" is the shortest i would go.

    I think the only thing you will need the 1.5's for is glutes. the 1" should work fine for other areas.
