Yes, but much smaller arteries than the femoral artery in your leg. Usually you’re anastomosing (connecting) an approx 3mm vein to an artery

If direct pressure is working, continue that. If it is still bleeding, then Tourniquet.
Also, for reference, any arm injury below the elbow should be able to be controlled with direct pressure.
