Finally it’s that time of the cycle where I order my needles 🥳

For my test I ordered:
18g 1 inch for drawing
27g 1 inch for pinning

My biggest concern is that the 1 inch is potentially too long for pinning? I am decently lean and my plan was to rotate spots from glute, ventrogluteal, quads, and delts (pinning delts less so there’s less scarring) I’ll be pinning every day for more stable bloods, but I heard that 1 inch may be too long for my delts?

Let me know if this is fine though!

yeah, i’ll see how this goes first, if it gets too uncomfortable, i’ll for sure invest in 25g, but i’ll just test these out first just bc i’ll have them on hand
