A hickey, also known as a love bite or bruise, is a type of bruise resulting from the sucking or kissing of the skin, causing the blood vessels to break and leak blood into the surrounding tissue. Hickeys can occur on any skin tone, including black skin.
The visibility of a hickey on black skin may vary depending on the individual’s skin tone and the severity of the hickey. Hickeys on darker skin tones may be less noticeable than on lighter skin tones. However, they can still be visible, especially if they are large or dark in color.
