Check with the doctor please.

Yes it is normal in some cases. Depends on your sensitivity scale. I've known people with such sensitive skin that even a pinch can bruise them.

But yes check with the doc just in case it's a small hemorrhage

That's not abnormal if the person drawing the blood had to poke you multiple times in order to find a vein. Sorry you had to get poked so many times (if that's what happened). It won't take long for the bruising to go away though.

You are supposed to apply pressure on the incision for a good couple minutes or this happens.
Did they not order you to do that?

Either way its fine, the vein has clotted up long ago, you will just be stuck with an ugly bruise until the blood goes away.

Hey Alex! Nothing to worry about just means the person handling the needle was a bit rough.. Should hopefully be better by morning. Rest up tonight! I hope you feel better soon and that the test wasn't for anything serious.

That doesn't look normal, though maybe it's different for each person.

This is excessive, he/she probably messed around with the needle a lot. I had some problems with blood tests and injections from my arm, but not that bad.

Its your bodies reaction to the needle, i wouldn't sweat it but if it makes you feel better go see a doctor. If it persists for a week, i would see a doc

Oh gosh. No that doesn't look good. You're bruised badly, which means you bleed under the skin.

  You shouldn't bruise that much from a needle. Someone didn't do it right or something. Hopefully it should clear up in a few days.

Not normal, just a harsh stab from the needle I guess. It'll go away in like 3-6 days tho.

Nope. Often a needle does not cause such bruising unless your having internal bleeding or had a bit of internal bleeding.
