Can it hurt to get your blood drawn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well, it IS a needle: Puncturing the skin with the needle is a skill and art. It cannot be pain free, however, a good phlebotomist (at whatever level of training), can often do it with minimal pain. It is usually not worse than a pinch.
