My wife worked on the donation side of the Dutch blood transfusion service, and she's very clear that even a highly-skilled and much-experienced person can have huge problems getting a needle in a vein with some people.
My mother-in-law apparently has horrible arm veins in the sense that they're tiny, deep and tend to slide away when touched with a needle, so her having a blood sample taken is almost always a traumatic experience for her with multiple sticks required. The fact that she's a drama-queen and so phobic about blood that she tends to pass out when she sees even a drop of it makes the process almost as traumatic for the person drawing the blood.
I’m scared of the covid jab

If you get someone skilled doing your blood test you will not feel anything.

That's generally true, however...

I literally had blood tests my entire life and am phobic of needles. I went to a meps doctor and I didn't feel anything.
