Definition: Vampire Bites are really just a strategically placed surface piercings. Since the rod that connects the two ends is invisible underneath the skin, the gems or discs on the surface of the skin simulate the appearance of fang bites in the skin. The piercing is placed in an area around the neck or shoulder that is the typical target area for a hungry vampire. Red jewel ends are usually the most popular choice, because they look like blood.
While they've always been done with surface bars in the past, with the invention of microdermal anchors, a Vampire Bite could easily be done with two microdermals instead. The end result is the same. If you have it done with a single bar, though, it's really important that the connecting rod is made of a flexible material or is an actual surface bar, not a barbell. This reduces the chance of migration and/or rejection, which is a standard risk with all surface piercings. Having a piercer that has a lot of experience with surface piercings is also important.
On a side note, while this is typically a piercing that girls get, there's no reason a guy can't get it, too. There's nothing "feminine" about being bitten by a vampire.
