I don't inject through clothing and that's why. It already happens often enough with the blood vessels I can't see, so why would I want to take chances with the ones I can eliminate by sight? (I have a really small ribcage, so my theory as to why I hit one so often is that I have a normal number of blood vessels; they're just closer together on me.) YMMV, of course.
