How long is a nose piercing suppose to bleed for?

I got my nose pierced yesterday and I'm just wondering if its normal for it to bleed and how long this should happen for?

Its not dripping or anything but everytime I go to clean it (3 or 4 times a day) it has a little blood around it

    Bleeding off and on for the first week or so isn't abnormal. And if it gets irritated during healing it can bleed again. 3-4 times a day really is too much. You should be using a sterile saline wound wash spray twice a day.

    Totally normal. As long as it's not dripping blood, it might get a little crusty for the first day or so.

    If this continues past day 2-3, though, go see your piercer. There might be something wrong with the jewelry that they can fix straightaway.
