First of all, arterial and venous blood flows are different. Arteries spurt from the blood pressure used to propel the blood away from the heart, but veins let the blood flow. If you know the pressure points (behind the elbows, carotids at the neck, near the underarms, on the wrist, and on the inside of knees), then press between the wound and the pressure point before that point in the blood's journey through the blood vessels. THANKS DUDE. YOU DID MY HOMEWORK FOR ME!!!!!!
I think that you will end up having to have surgery or possibly even death. Honestly, I think you need to think it through if you are willing to cut or not. I used to, and t does'nt even help. If you are SURE you want to'at least start off with a tack and scratch yourself. You REALLY dont want to hit a vein because skin alone can cause you to have stitches. or even death.
Apply direct pressure with a clean cloth to the wound to stop the bleeding. For severe bleeding, and espeically for an arterial bleed, transport to hospital -- it'll likely need sutures.
apply pressure to stop the bleeding. If it has been punctured by a splinter, etc., do NOT remove unless you are sure that you have not penetrated an artery

What if you pierce your ear and hit a vein will you die from bleeding?
Well... if you are piercing your cartilage, you won't hit a vein. On other places it is possible to hit a vein, and if it's major, you could bleed to death... But I'd imagine you'd get help before that happened. ^^^^^ You CAN hit a vein, but not ALL of your blood is in your ears. So I HIGHLY doubt if you perhaps did hit a vein, that you could bleed to death. None the less you may bleed a lot though. It truly depends on if your a bleeder, or not!

Why when you cut your vein on your wrist you will die but if you chop your hand you survive?
I think it's still fatal to do that but when you cut that vein it releases a lot of blood so you can die from blood loss (if not taken to a hospital on time). You will not die right away from cutting your wrist vein.
How can you heal your vein when it hardens and calluses from shooting meth?
I need to know the same thing. i shot opiates a lot in the same vein and on the same spot for years cause its the easiest to hit. now the vein is callused and so hard i cant get a needle to pierce into it unless its a 25gauge or bigger because itll bend smaller needles. i've left it alone for a week or two and it seems to be softening back up now though. so thats not much of an answer but my advice is leave the vein alone and hit somewhere else for a while and see if it'll soften up.
