Is it normal that my blood is almost black?

My blood is kind of red, but it's almost completely black. Like a very dark maroon.

    depends where your blood is coming from. darker is from your veins and bright red from your arteries

    Were you one of Ragnarok's victims? If so, then you're normal.

    I heard that blood inside you is red but turns black when it comes into contact with oxygen. I could be totally wrong on this though so don't take my word for it.

    Dark maroon for deoxygenated blood is normal.

    Light red for oxygenated blood is normal.

    fresh blood should not be like that. Older blood becomes more black.

    I think you may be talking about blood oxygen levels. Oxygenated blood is bright red whereas non-oxygenated blood is a very dark red that looks like a wine red (red wine can sometimes appear black).

    You still might want to go see a doctor in case your blood is, in fact, darker than normal and you have some sort of condition that requires medical attention.
