Did I hit an arteriole?
So today I was cutting and I got to fat (very shallow but still) however I wasn't satisfied so I kept going until I saw blood spurt in the air right after the cut and was pulsing in time with my heart after that. I immediately applied pressure after the spurt and its wrapped with an ace bandage right now so I think I'm fine. I'm just a little concerned because I've never seen it spurt like that before. Any advice on caring for the cut? (Also should still preface the cut is fairly shallow within the fat layer)
