A hickey is a discoloration of the skin—a bruise, really—caused by prolonged suction of the mouth against the skin. Hickeys are a rite of passage, a mark of love or possession that advertises the hickey wearer’s relationship with the hickey giver. This article explains how to give a hickey to your boyfriend or girlfriend.
Steps
1. Get the person's permission. Just because you want to leave your mark of love on your boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't mean he or she wants to wear an ugly bruise. Ask first, even if your partner has been kissing you, and stop if he or she wants you to (hickeys can cause the receiver discomfort).
2. Choose the right spot. You can give someone a hickey just about anywhere. The most common place is on the throat, because the capillaries (tiny blood vessels) that are broken during a hickey are pretty close to the surface and because you don’t need to remove any clothing to give a hickey on the neck. These are also the most easily visible, and while visibility is usually intended, you may want to give or receive a hickey elsewhere where it is more easily covered.
3. Place your lips against the skin, leaving your mouth open slightly in the middle. Your lips should be parted as though you are saying the letter “O.”
4. Suck on the skin. Make a good seal with your lips against the skin, and suck the skin as though you’re trying to suck it into your mouth. Continue applying suction for at least 30 seconds, possibly more. The suction will break the capillaries beneath the skin and cause the characteristic bruising that is a hickey.
Tips
* Wait a few minutes for the hickey to appear. It will probably get darker or bigger in the hours after you give it.
* If you can't seem to give a hickey, try sucking on the skin for more time, and make sure you have a good seal between the mouth and skin so that your suction is most powerful.
* It may help to start with your tongue against their skin, inside your mouth, then pull it back as you suck
* If your partner doesn't want a hickey to be noticeable, ask if you can give one to him or her in a less conspicuous spot. The belly is good, not only because it won't be seen by others, but also because it provides a flat surface against which you can easily create good suction.
Warnings
* Receiving a hickey can be painful. If you don’t like the way it feels, pull away and tell the person to stop. If someone asks you to stop giving a hickey, respect his or her wishes.
* Don’t bite. Suction is all that is required to give a hickey. If you use your teeth you run the risk of breaking the skin and causing infection. Even if it doesn't break the skin, it will hurt a lot in the days to come.

how to give someone a hickey
Thanks for sharing,you really did an amazing job,keep it up.
How can i Get Rid of a Hickey: It depends on the person's skin -- lighter, fairer skin, like is common among redheads -- is more sensitive, in my experience.
Basically you just lock your lips on a patch of skin (the flatter the better) and suck .. moving your lips around a bit to make sure you get the most suction as possible. The you just basically "suck" in the skin. That reddish patch you see is basically just surface blood vessels (capillaries) that have ruptured from the high pressure.
Not to worry -- it does no harm and goes away before too long. That also depends on how fast the individual "heals."
apply an ice pack or cold spoon on the Hickey as soon as possible after you get it. you can wrap cinah towel use. pre frozen ice packs or put a spoon in the freezer for a few minutes lightly.
