A tourniquet cuts off blood flow. The arm or leg will not immediately become gangrenous. First, the skin would feel numb. The arm would begin to throb as if it 'went to sleep', with tingling, burning, etc. The person would likely be wiggling their fingers to get feeling back and would remove the tourniquet at that point, if lucid and not in shock from bleeding. If the restriction to blood flow was left on, the skin color and temperature would begin to change. The fingertips (or toes) would die first.
