Is it common to bruise easily when you are taking blood thinners?

Yes: Because you are on blood thinner and your blood is thin you can bruise very easily which is not a big problem, usually it becomes a problems if you are bleeding from your mouth or in stool , in that case your inr sould be checked and you should see a doctor. I would not worry only with bruising , it will say on the medicine side effect sheet also.
