Before a Shibari scene, It is important to talk about some health issues. One of them is the relation between Shibari and blood thinners.

It is important to know if your partner is taking any blood thinner medication. This medicines, also known as an anticoagulants, help blood flow smoothly through the veins. This reduces the risk of heart attacks and help keep blood clots from forming.
Asking your partner if they are taking any blood thinners might be a good way to start. Later, you can ask why they are taking this type of medication.

If your partner is taking some heavy-duty blood thinners, it is very important to be cautious with the scene. When you are in blood thinner medications, any trauma can be very serious or even fatal. A relatively minor impact to the head can cause a brain bleed. People taking blood thinners may have different health issues. These vary from heart arrhythmias to valve surgery to pulmonary embolus, which has implications for bondage.
I am not saying that taking blood thinners is an impediment to do rope bondage, but it is important to take the corresponding safety precautions. You can consider using thick, soft bondage materials, have the bottom in a lying position and avoid standing positions where there is a risk for falls.

Another important aspect is that rope can cause bruising, and with the blood thinners, the bruises might be many times worse, so it is important to avoid forming large hematomas since the sensitivity of trauma is pretty high. And of course, I would not suspend anyone with heavy blood thinners, since the risk of falling might be dangerous.
It is important to do your research and evaluate each particular case in order to make a good and informed decision.

Now you knowe everything you need about Shibari and blood thinners.
