No. The only reason why you might have blue blood is because the blood is not oxidized, meaning it isn't carrying any oxygene.
When you bleed, blood enters the atmosphere... which contains oxygen. And the blood becomes oxidized immediatly turning it red. So it's no possible to bleed blue blood unless you are bleeding internally and then only if you're bleeding from a blood vessel that is (probably) a vein. Blood in arteries does not have to be oxidized. An artery is just a blood vessel that is usually wide and has high pressure and is going away from the heart. Veins go toward the heart and have low pressure and are not as thick or wide as arteries. Veins have little flaps in them as well.
Besides, your blood was never and will never really be blue anyway.
Just sorta...
The reason why blood turns red is because of the iron in the red bloodcells hemoglobin. When iron rusts (AKA oxidizes) it turns red, right? So does the iron in your blood. It turns red when it's carrying oxygen.
When oxygen enters your blood the iron bonds with it immedietly.
P.S. not health class, bio... human anatomy

It would only be possible to bleed blue blood in an environment deprived of Oxygen. We bleed red because as soon as it leaves are body it comes into contact with the oxygenated air and becomes red, if it wasn't already.

No. The blood in your body is blue - that's why your veins look blue. Once it leaves your body and hits the air, some reaction happens and it appears to be red. Any blood you ever see outside of a human body will be red.

Umm... your blood is blue. but once it has contact with oxygen, it turns red. So unless you are bleeding somewhere where there is no oxygen, you can't bleed blue blood.
