The veins used are usually between your bicep and forearm to draw blood and shots don't require a vein only intravenous drips. For regular shots the nurse will just poke the meaty part of your arm or butt. A tattoo won't in anyway impede a shot.

You don't draw blood from around the biceps or the deltoid muscle - there is no reason to even try to access veins on the shoulder. Shots (injections) are given IM there which means intramuscularly and tattoos do not affect them at all.

shots aren't given into veins, they are given into muscle tissue. most medicines are NOT meant to be injected directly into the vein, if it is it could cause damage to the vein and would definitely burn (more so than it already does) any medicine that gets injected directly into the vein is diluted with a saline solution (also called a saline flush).
so having a tattoo on your arm in no way inhibits your medical care.

They don't use the shoulder to find veins.
