The bruising will get better as you learn but will keep happening if your normally bruise easily like I do. Wearing shorts out is a thing of the past for me lol but its so worth it!
Invest in some arnica gel and apply right after your session. It really is a godsend! I have a nasty pole burn right now that should be black and blue but isn't because of arnica!

Yep their right its normal. Working on your strength will allow you to get into positions with less effort and soon you wont bruise so much.🙂
From what I know and my own experience, the bruising goes away as you master the tricks but comes back in new places when you begin to learn new ones.
Thank gawd, I just got on a pole properly for the first time ever today and my inner thighs felt like they were being ripped to shreds!! All that from a basic pole sit 🙁 Is there anything in particular we can do to help with pole burn/bruising? I've never heard of arnica gel, I might give that one a go... though for me personally I don't bruise much at all lol it's the chafing that's killing me!
Hemorrhoid cream. I can't recommend it enough.
