Pen, pin, probe.
-
Lately I been trying to figure out a way to reduce hitting a nerve while pinning. Example- The skin of an average human has 1000+ sensory nerves per square inch. I reduced my chances from pinning a nerve by first avoiding the obvious. I first avoid the hair follicles because at the base called The Root Hair Plexus has sensory nerve fibers wrap around each hair bulb. The other is called Free Nerve Endings that are close to the surface and through out our entire skin. This is how we feel pain. You cannot see them but you can definitely feel them. Those are the ones to look out for. What I do is use the pen tip and lightly pin the surface of my skin until I feel the least sensitive spot. Lightly pin without breaking skin. If you are lucky you will feel nothing. Most likely it is a spot where there are less to no free nerve endings. That is the sweet spot. As for the nerve and blood vessels, "Pinch pin and pray".
