1) Is 1in needles long enough for glutes
2) Is it normal to experience pain in the tailbone after a glute shot?
 
1) If you're skinny enough, yes. If you have junk in the trunk, opt for a 1.5" needle.
2) If you shake the needle all over the place while it's in you, maybe. I hope you're injecting in the outer upper quadrant of your glute.
 
I personally dont like 1" I use 1.5 I dont think that is normal at all there shouldn't be pain in tailbone maybe your pinning too high up I pin a couple inches from my hip bone think of the glute muscle in 4 halves use upper outer portion

Ya glutes are def big lol so maybe need to resort to quads, and ive had people do it for me so far and they have been really steady and put it in the upper right/left depending on side

Just remember to pin the vastus lateralis (upper, outer edge of the quad) and avoid the top. You will probably be sore, but I prefer quads to glutes any day of the week once you get the hang of it. ;) Bhrees posted a really good link if you're not sure where to pin safely.

gotcha, ive read its one hand distance from knee one hand distance from waist, then maybe about half a hands length to the right (if your using right quad for example)
 
Also for glutes, if you had your arms by your side normally standing, about where your palm touches is that it? unless you have long ass arms
