Needles, needles, needles, love, love, LOVE! Muahahaha
Okay, now that I've regained composure, can you tell I adore needleplay? 
Pain is subjective to the amount of fatty under layer there is and whether the area has a profusion of nerve endings and of course, gauge of needle used. Take a breast, for example, the outer fatty part of the breast when pierced is unlikely to cause any kind of pain reaction, whereas if you insert them into the areolae or nipples b/c of the high profusion of nerve endings it's going to hurt like a bitch (unless you are used to it and the sensation of pain will be processed easily due to the endorphin rush you'll experience). Just b/c a needle is 3/4" in length or longer doesn't mean you should insert that entire length into a person, remember that depending on what area you are piercing there will be major nerves, ducts which could become infected and arteries/veins, learn anatomy to ensure you know where everything is located.
First Aid knowledge and experience, along with a good kit are your best friends.
Here are some tips for you:
If you want techniques, get thee off to a demo, there will be plenty available so check the local scene for events going on.
Always have a sharps container at hand, if you haven't a proper sharps container, an empty coke bottle will do.
Always ensure the person being pierced is clean, ie a shower before hand and prep the skin to be pierced with hibiscrub, antibacterial soap, or a weak solution of 6% hydrogen peroxide which is diluted with the same amount of water. I do this AND also use swabs I buy specifically to prep the area I'm using on. These can be purchased from the same vendor you buy the needles from. Always discard contaminated materials carefully in a biohazard bin and not just throw them in your usual bin.
Ensure area around you is CLEAR and you have a steady surface to put your equipment on, and that the area you are placing hte person to be pierced on is also CLEAN.
Have latex/exam gloves on, the kind without the power crap inside.
Ensure needles to be used come in their own individual sterile pack. Once you have removed the plastic cap protecting the needle ensure you do not attempt to replace it back onto the needle as this is how punctures to the fingers occur. If you do receive a puncture to the finger, do not then use the same needle on the 'victim', discard into the sharps bin immediately, along with the gloves you were wearing, once you have stopped your bleeding and cleaned it up, applying a plaster, you'll need a fresh pair of gloves.
The higher the gauge of the needle, the smaller the needle actually is, ie a 25 gauge needle is smaller than one which is 21g. They will come in various sizes and the colour of the hub is significant to their gauge, so orange will be 25g and usually the needle of choice for a beginner.
Select areas that have a nice fatty area of tissue underneath, breasts, stomach, tops/outer arms and thighs are ideal, so too are buttocks and the back but avoid the area around the spine as these are for very experienced people.
Decide beforehand exactly what it is you want to do with the needles, ie if you want to create a decorative pattern decide beforehand how you wish to do this.
I would like to write a lot more on this but haven't the time at present to do so, so feel free to write if you'd like further information.
