You would know as soon as the shot was withdrawn if you hit a vein bro. Blood would be everywhere! You are fine!

Not necessarily true. If you hit an artery blood would be everywhere but an injected vein would most likely cause a hematoma.

Aspiration is pulling back on the syringe before injecting to make sure the needle tip is not in a vein. If it is blood will be drawn back into the syringe.
