    If you put tippex all around the are,but not on it,it will get rid of it.you have 2 leave it on for a few hours and after that nobody will see it :D

    or else try toothpaste..heard that is supposed 2 work.

    This lovebite wasn't picked up on a trip to the zoo by any chance? Got a weird image of an elephant suckin some necky goodness...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 298 ✭✭cil_aine


    lol, i have been know to attract the odd elephant.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    toothpaste tbh.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 31,967 ✭✭✭✭Sarky


    Repeated smacks until they learn how to kiss properly. It won't help with the current one, but should prevent further accidents.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,819 ✭✭✭rymus


    ahh to be young an irresponsible. tbh, I wouldnt be bothered about dealing with "questions". I'd be more bothered about the weeks of having people take the piss. But hey, whatever your priorities are..

    Go to your local D4 makeup supplier and get some of that orange ****e they use and for future reference, knock the biters teeth out to prevent further embarrassment. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,526 ✭✭✭*adele*


    Yeah go for toothpaste...

    This would definitely be the most amusing way to go about it, seeing as tippex doesn't easily wash off.

    Prevention is better than cure. So break their teeth.

    At a risk of turning orange you could try fake tan i guess but you would have to be very desperate

    In future have your other half wear a gumshield as a preventative measure.

    How does a hickey manage to stay on you for ages? Any science behind it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,117 ✭✭✭Gazza22


    Try controlling her in future! Eh toothpaste should work fine
    How does a hickey manage to stay on you for ages? Any science behind it?
    Well the blood is drawn up into the dermal tissue so it's takes time for it to make its way back into the bloodstream...

    Damn, gazza seems to have gotten there before me! :(

    What? I'm smart... :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,920 ✭✭✭cee_jay


    Arnica - or toothpaste
    Mime's white make up hides it really well

    I doubt you will find anyway to be rid of them before work, dress in a way to conceal them as best you can. If anyone does notice just laugh about it and don't let it get to you. Make some joke about feeding him first next time or something.

    (Unless it's your boss, act surprised then worried and tell him/her you think you have meningitis and you need to go home for at least two weeks :D )

    Collar Perferably a high collar Don't thinkreally there's any specific way in curing it fast Tried most of the suggested methods before to no avail


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 153 ✭✭Dutchboy


    Toothpaste all the way! Works a treat! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,466 ✭✭✭Blisterman


    Pretend it's a birthmark. Then pretend you got it removed.

    toothpaste is the best bet

    And well done on letting somebody to that to you,
    clearly they had respect for you. :rolleyes:

    Don't be silly. A hickey is not a sign of disrespect.

    However, not knowing what a hickey is meant to be is an embarrasment, but they're probably young, so lay off.

    A hickey is otherwise known as a love bite, and is never *meant* to leave a bruise unless it happens to be a very passionate moment. A love bite is meant to consist of kissing and gentle biting perhaps, but never actually sucking like a hoover with the aim of maiming your partner, which unfortunately seems to be understanding that most young fellas have!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 83 ✭✭claireoby


    Talkin from experience,--i had 3 huge hickeys on my neck like a feckin necklace,(i was very very very drunk,dont remember even kissin the fella!!)--i used ice coz it hurt so much, that cooled them down, then put toothpaste on them everynight, and i bought that colour corrective stuff,(it really works!!) and put makeup over them, and wore a neck scarf...and my mother didnt notice!! they lasted an entire week. my first hickey(s) will definately be my last!!! just thinking about them makes me feel the pain!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,854 ✭✭✭Beekay


    All this is very helpful to me,as one time i had about twelve hickeys on my neck and chest :o:o

    No your right its not disrespectful, giving them a hickey is the height of respect, sure isnt branding them the best sign of respect?

    *yawn*

    You must have fun relationships...

    "Don't touch my ass, only kissing and missionary position for sex"

    It was a bit of f*cking fun, he wasn't smacking her ass and calling her his slut (which is also not disrespectful if neither of the people mind), stop being so bloody uptight. She probably *shock, horror* ENJOYED IT, even!!! :eek:

    Crazy notion, I know.

    You dont know my relationships so thanks for the sweeping statement on them.
    So here is a sweeping statement in return
    Clearly you must have so much more fun, going around treating women like objects and not people, and marking them with your hickey's.
    Congrats
    If she enjoyed it so much why is she asking how to cover them up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,647 ✭✭✭impr0v


    Get an industrial sander and sand the rest of your exposed skin. You can tell everyone you went to morroco for the weekend and forgot suncream.

    *triple yawn* etc etc

    How is it treating them like objects? It's not branding them, for f*ck sake, it's just the aftermath of kissing, etc., their neck. Is it treating men like objects if it's done to them? Or does this only apply to women?

    She's asking to cover it up because it's unsightly/embarressing (her friends might go, 'ooooh, yooouuu've got a boy-friend!' and the likes), I presume. Do you think the guy held her down, said, "you're mine and only mine!:mad:" and started chewing on her neck? No, they were probably "making out", and this happened (could have even been an accident, as has happened with me and my girlfriend; regardless, it's not a big f*cking deal).

    Is ADUB? annoying anyone else???

    Hickies are fcuking hillarious and the only way around them is to give in to the hillarity! TRUST ME! I'm still branded because of one I got six months ago, and at first going into schol it was like "lean on desk, hand on neck" and get some practice with the aul make up skills, which didn't do much, considering the fact it was THE DEMON HICKY. Seriously! There are people on here to prove that! It lasted a good two/three weeks! And was not too far off the size of the palm of your hand! Or my hand as the case may be!
    And to make it funnier, it was known as the demon hicky and I was known as "Holy Moley" cuz the guy I was with at the time went/goes by Jebus.
    As for Dave and ADUB and your disrespect, and "owning" a girl, no, it was "heat of the moment" stlye, and he didn't even realise he'd done it till later. And yes it was rather enjoyable!
    Use concealer, eyeshadow, porcelene foundation and work on your blending to cover it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Le Rack


    Oh and it gets better, the hungry beggar is a member here cough*r4ph*cough.
    And I still get onto him about it cuz its so funny to watch him squirm and apologise profoundly, no matter how much I tell him I gave into the funny of it!
    Oh and the parents reaction was even better! About a week maybe two later, at the dinner table Da says "What's on your neck?!" Makes an attempt at examining me, turns, says, "Mother, have you seen her neck!" mam looks blankly, da, "She's got a love bite!!!" Had a rant for a few minutes, while I squirmed in my chair, mam turns and says "Oh yeah that, I seen that ages ago" She throws a glance at me and says "Well you should'a seen him", Father continues his rant.... Very funny!
    Little did they know that it was well healed at this stage cuz I had been in Spain for a week and they hadn't seen it before I went!

    On a side note, : Hickies on boobies? DO NOT heal easily! Or quickly!
