Will your body accept a body piercing if you are anemic?

Answer 1

Anemia refers to a red blood cell count that is below normal. While white blood cells fight infection, red blood cells are responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. When red blood cell levels drop too low, the body feels tired due to lack of oxygen. Hence, someone with anemia is often referred to as having "tired blood." O.K. so that being said, your body is fighting something already and to force your body to accept a body piercing is not the wisest thing to do. If anemia is due to a medically treatable condition, Iron deficiant condition then I would suggest not getting the piercing until your doctor says you are good to go. If you choose to get a piercing, you piercer may (and should actually ask) if you have any conditions that would cause problems healing a piecing, anemia is one condition where it will cause a problem and most piercers will not pierce you.
