 In general, shots administered deeper into muscle hurt LESS. Muscles which are typically used to give shots have relatively few pain receptors, fewer than the skin above. So the farther from the skin, the better.

With modern needles, you Will not ne able to feel the needle at all, regardless of its length and thickness. I experimented with even thicker and longer needles (up to 18G thick and 5 inch long) and barely felt anything (much to my disappointment 🙂). At least this od my experience. The only thing that can make injection hurt is the medicine itself, but that has nothing to do with the needle size. Or it might have, but indirectly, as Paulo explained - the deeper the medicine is applied, the less it should hurt.
