Why are blood stains thicker around the edges?

Was cleaning a stain and it occurred to me it should be evenly spread, however the edge is thicker and harder to clean than the center of the stain.

At the risk of being completely wrong, I’m going to just add a theory. Maybe when it lands, the ripple effect pushes more of it to the edges, like a tiny wave. And because blood is thicker than water (awesome), not as much redistributes itself to even out?
