do not reuse pins. it is not about sterility so much as the tip being blunt after one pass, i think

drawing up with the same pin you inject with is fine, it just dulls the tip slightly
do you aspirate, or is that only an intramuscular thing
do not aspirate for a subcutaneous injection, there is nothing to aspirate for

slightly off topic but do you pinch or stretch
anyone got a rotation map they would share
