The majority of blood tests require a tiny volume of blood to be drawn from a vein. To accomplish this, a health care provider will:

Clean the region, place an elastic band (tourniquet) over it to cause the veins to bulge with blood.
Insert the needle into the vein (usually in the arm inside of the elbow or on the back of the hand)
Draw blood with a vial or syringe.
Remove the elastic band from the vein and the needle
Needle insertion would cause minor pinprick pain
