I'll locate my needle tips sheet later and post it in a PM to you. Until then some tips.
1. Always use a new needle. Not only is it guarenteed to be clean, the point is still sharp. As you reuse needles, the beevle (Sp?) wears down. And it only takes 2-3 to take that beevle halfway down.
2. Use clean draws and pushes. Don't jerk or shake.
3. Dont dig for the veins. You'll not only tear the muscle area around it, you could accidentally rip the vein too.
Other than that, Don't repeat the same injection spot more than twice. Move down the vein. I was told that you shouldn't move up (as in to the hand). Don't know why though honestly. Do you feel for veins or only shoot for ones you can see? A lot of veins i hit in my arms and thighs I can feel the pulse if I lightly drag my finger over them, but I can't see at all.
Anyhow, that's all I can think of. you can ask me any questions in a Pm if you'd like.
