What do you think about jet injectors?
a narrow, high-pressure stream of liquid penetrates the outermost layer of the skin to deliver medication to targeted underlying tissues
This is what I was thinking when reading the title. That one supposedly was cool, because there was no needle, never seen one in action but I presume there also was no bleeding.
Yet we don't see them used today, apparently the biggest reason was that there was a splashback and retrograde follow and then patient's blood could end up contaminating the nozzle, so basically it was like using the same needle on multiple patients.

It's how I got some vaccines in gradeschool. To the underside of my upper arm, the fatty bit. Hurt like fuck.

man a little vaccine needle is the least painful shot, i didn't even feel the last 5 i got until the next day
Intramuscular always caused me soreness, except maybe once. I don’t know what that nurse did differently, I felt the needle sink in, and it hurt; but there was near-zero residual soreness.
