I regularly compliment my lab techs, and let them know that I'm pleased with their work. I'm even sure to request my blood-work papers be to that specific lab instead of the one my endo prefers. I have to have 3 vials of blood drawn every 6 weeks, I want to know that I'm not going to come out with huge bruises and hurting every time. I even have a preferred vampire in my preferred lab. Her name is Joyce and she has never left a bruise or missed her target. She's GOOD.

I don't know why this confuses my vampires so much. Perhaps it is simply that people who are less bruisable, or who have better veins (that is to say everyone else) haven't had as many bad experiences.

Regarding the possible marks, most of mine have faded. *pained sigh* Cocunut butter helps.
