I take warfarin, could I get my nose pierced?

Question

Will it bleed too much?

Thanks.

Answer 1

The nose has a different structure as ear lobes. Ear lobes are soft tissue while the nose is cartilage. Also, it contains more blood vessels that the ear lobe.

For whatever reason you may be taking warfarin, it may cause you to bleed more than normal so be quite careful if you want to push through with your nose piercing.
