Injection sites, need help

I am 5'11 and weigh 133lbs and trying to gain weight. I usually give myself 4-6 shots a day(with solarstar pens and smallest needle possible) and I keep hitting veins or getting into muscle tissue. I am very lean with limited places to inject. Sometimes when I inject into the abdomen area, Its like my skin bubbles up. With me being so lean, I am finding it harder to find places to inject. Can I inject in butt cheeks?, is this a prime place to inject, what are some problems that may be caused by injecting in butt? Also, what are the problems with hitting veins or injecting into muscle tissue, I bruised really good after hitting a vein, but what else? I need help
