It's not blood, it's hypertrophic scarring, it's bound to happen if you take your jewellery out of an infected piercing, if you don't take care of the piercing site after you've taken the jewellery out, if the piercing is old etc etc. You probably shouldn't have taken the jewellery out, it's important not to touch the piercing site for as long as is recommended by your piercer (that is if you got it pierced professionally). New piercings often bleed, that's very normal but further along the line bleeding could be a sign of infection.
That's not to say you shouldn't rinse your piercing site, you absolutely should, and you should clean it a few times a day with something like piercing solution or sea salt soaks, all depending on the instructions of your piercer.
All that being said, you probably shouldn't listen to me, I'm not an expert in any way, just an enthusiast.
You gave me MUCH more advise than the guy doing the piercing. He was like yeah rinse a few times should be good. I thought that there was something wrong with me, like I had an allergic reaction or something, but I see now I totally didnt have a good cleansing routine
yeah he definitely should have told you that it's normal that there can come some liquid out, blood or white ish stuff, get red and/or a little swelling

, my piercer still tell me that, even tho they know me, but it's procedure to do... agree with alam, sounds very unprofessional
it's first infection when the liquid is like green ish yellow idk and smells super bad
smell super bad as in piercings can smell without it being infection, also very normal
