Answer #1

just a little puncture. sometimes you cant even see but but after i get a needle in my arm it usually starts to swell so it varies

Answer #2

Its quite often like that, yes. It depends alot on the skill of the person drawing the blood. Ideally you wouldnt have much of a bruise, but if the person had trouble finding the vein or something there may be more bruising. I usually find I get some bruising even if the person was really good, which I think is pretty normal since the blood is going to clot to close the wound and heal.
