So, for the last few months I've been injecting intramuscularly....Or trying atleast. I use 1/2" 1/2cc syringes. I stick it straight into my bicept at a 90 degree angle just like when you get a vaccine.others......help....Thanks...asbeen
This is just
begging for you to develop an abscess and possibly even lose the limb like the people in this thread have had happen to them.

So, here are my questions... First, does anyone know how to skin-pop? I've gotten a million answers. Some say it's just like muscling but with a short needle, or that you pull out until the needle registers with blood at the sub-cutaneous layer. Can someone who actually uses this process answer my question? Cause I've read all the hypothetical bs already....Also, where else can I muscle? I think there's too much fat on my hip...I'm only 120lbs, 5'6, I just mean it's a fatty part of the body on anyone...and third, I'm sure that if I can successfully find it, the femoral vein would totally save me right now. I read the thread on it, I get that it's to the right of the pulse, but I can't find the pulse!!! Is a 1/2" needle long enough? I have a lot more questions, but let's start with these...
If you absolutely must be playing Russian roulette with skin popping: First of all you will want to pick and injection site such as your abdomen, thigh, buttox, or even on your lower back, though if an abscess forms on your lower back it could grow deadly before you notice and deal with it since the injection site isn't in a place that's visible. After you find a nice juicy place to blow your load in, you are almost ready to skin pop, but first you must find out which of the two techniques you will be using in the area you have chosen. To decide this you should take your (cleaned or gloved) hand and pinch off as much excess skin from the area as you can and if the amount you are left with is 2 inches or more of skin from the original point you pulled it from you will be using the 90 degree insertion technique, and if it is in any way less than that, or about 1 to 1.5 inches you will be better off using the 45 degree insertion method just due to the psychics that a needle going sideways wont go too deep compared to a needle that is going perpendicular to your skin. Once you make a decision about where you will be wanting to skin pop you will want to take an alcohol wipe and once over the injection site just like if you would IV, this will hopefully reduce the chance of an abscess or bad infection from forming, though when you are shooting street dope, you can't ever be sure. Once the alcohol drys or once you blow it dry you will want to take your chosen injection site and then you can go about inserting the inserting the needle at either a 45 or 90 degree angle to the area that you just let dry, though the rule in the medical community where I have learned to instruct diabetics to give themselves these shots is to use the 45 degree insertion technique when you can't be sure.
Here are the techniques I mentioned above:
45 Degree technique: Hold the injection device almost like a pencil while still grasping it far enough down the barrel to get your palm above the plunger when it becomes necessary to inject, but while maintaining a 45 degree angle of entry to the skin you will quickly want just to push the barrel into the site with enough force to allow about half of the needle to be stuck in the skin.
90 degree technique: This is the way that most people on the street will attempt to skin pop their dope once they run out of veins, and while it can be effective, the amount of loose skin needs to be deeper (about 2 inches can be grasped with your hand before you pick a site) and if the subject shoots the preparation too deep it will end up not being nearly as fun as if they had done it properly with a 45 degree insertion technique. The way you go about this should be pretty self explanatory, but I will tell you how to do it anyway. You should grasp the syringe (not by the plunger!) like you would for any other injection, like a pencil, and with a little bit of force, take it from a height of about 6 inches from your skin and allow the needle to enter the skin about halfway, obviously if the needle is longer let less of the needle stay in.
Once you have the syrine either at a 45 or 90 degree angel to the area on your skin were you chose to inject,
this is the point where you pinch off your skin and almost wrap the loose skin around the needle that is inside if you are using the 45 degree method and if the needle is in at a 90 degree angle you should pull up a portion of the skin so as to lift up the rig as well because you don't want to accidentally have the needle slip deeper.
This is the point when you are finally able to drive that beautiful plunger home and if you did it right, you
should be left with a small bubble at the injection point, and inside that bubble if you look close enough you can probably even see your prep solution if it is dark enough or a color that won't blend into the backdrop of your lower skin layers.
While I took a lot of words to explain what could be done in just a couple, I felt that for you, it was worth it. I don't want to see any more abscesses you hear me!
, and that is with trying for the majority of the three hours. I absolutely hate this, and was wondering what causes this, and if there are any ways of making this process easier. I usually end up enducing vomiting so that I am removing waste from my system in one way or another.
