A hickey is a small bruise from a kiss/suck/bite usually found around the neck or chest area. This BUR consolidates the various spellings into one tag and implies it to bruised.
'Love bite' is a synonym of hickey. The love bite tag is currently defined as: When the act of a character's bite on another character is visibly done out of passion and intimacy. Usually done as (but not limited to) a neck bite.This is rather nebulous when it comes to TWYS and is basically just a combination of bite and love (also nebulous but that's a whole 'nother issue). The tag is currently a mix of biting in various contexts (usually on the neck or shoulder), sometimes gentle, sometimes hard, as well as hickeys and bite marks. I don't think the current definition of the tag is very useful and I think a disambiguation would serve it well.
