* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' has a variant form of this. Vampires don't have fangs, though their teeth are strong and sharp. After Bella survives being bitten by James at the end of the first book, she's left with a silvery crescent-shaped scar on her wrist. It's noted that the scar always feels slightly colder than the rest of her body (vampires have lower temperatures than humans) and that it shimmers ever so slightly in the sun (a vampire's skin sparkles when exposed to sunlight).

* This is traditionally not an issue in ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade'' and ''TabletopGame/VampireTheRequiem'', because the Kiss that makes vampire bites usually feel so good also allows vampires to seal the wounds they create by licking them. However, there are exceptions, like the Eupraxus bloodline in ''Requiem,'' which gets the blissful experience of the Kiss but can't seal the wound by licking it. Which means the people they feed on will usually need triage, and anyone Embraced into the Eupraxus is gonna have a hickey that lasts all eternity.

In a vampire story, naturally someone will have the misfortune to be targeted and bitten. If the vampire doesn't finish off the victim right away, their bite will leave a visible mark on the target. Typically this are two punctures on the victim's neck, though how exactly this mark appears to the eye, how salient it is, and where on the victim's body it is located may vary. This mark can give friends and family of the victim the chance to find out something is wrong and save them before it is too late (the traditional idea that vampires seek to return to the same victim for feeding until the latter expires is usually in effect).
Conversely, said vampire could manage to complete their task in draining the blood out of their target and bringing them into the ranks of the undead, with the pinpricks still remaining where said victim was chomped on. This is likely to show the audience of the person's vampire status if they're trying to blend in with others or just remind them their under the undead curse (If it's curable or not depends on the story). Due to many [[OurVampiresAreDifferent stories having their own interpretation of how vampires work]], bites post turning don't always stick around after transformation, either due to the new healing factor closing it up or just acting as a indicator if the victim is still clinging to humanity with it's disapperence meaning [[YouAreTooLate it's too late]].
Sister Trope of VampireBitesSuck which is where a vampire goes really all out on the bites and leave a very messy and gory result that's unlikely to be survivable. As well as KissOfTheVampire, which is the opposite with the added benefit of having an... erotic sensation from the bite.

* ''Literature/AToZMysteries'': [[InvertedTrope Inverted]] in ''The Vampire's Vacation''. When an actor who typically plays the role of vampires comes to town, several adults in the town decide to play a prank on the main characters. They paint puncture wounds on their necks with makeup, act strange, and call the actor [[ActuallyNotAVampire Dr. A. Cula]] to try and scare the kids into thinking that there is a vampire loose in town.
* ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'': The doctor who examines Laura because of her deteriorating health is certain that she is being visited by a vampire when he discovers "a small blue spot, about the size of the tip of [a] little finger" on her upper chest, only a "little below [the] throat". Later we are told that a different doctor found a like "small livid mark" in the same spot on Bertha Rheinfeldt before she died. While these blue spots mark the points where the victim has been bitten by the vampire, the actual punctures left by the vampire's teeth are so small as to be almost invisible. Laura also one time mentions off-handedly that Carmilla has a "little mole on her throat"; it seems possible that the "mole" is actually the mark left by the vampire who killed her.
* ''Literature/{{Dracula}}''
** When Mina finds Lucy outside after she sleepwalks from their bedroom. She barely catches a glimpse of Dracula hunched over her before he flees, not knowing what he is at the time. So when she retrieves Lucy and brings her back, she sees the marks on Lucy's neck and assumes she pricked her with a safety pin though Lucy notes she doesn't feel any pain. As she starts to fall ill from later attacks, Seward can't make the connection that the mark is related to her declining health and it's only till Van Helsing is brought in, that mark signal him of a vampire attack. Alas, when Lucy is drained too heavily a third and final time, the marks heal on their own, which Van Helsing cites is too late for her.
** Mina gains her own when Dracula bites her after forcing her to drink his blood, this combination is so she'll turn regardless if she's alive or not as long as Dracula lives. The book downplays this though for the imprint wafer that's burned into her skin, but the bite marks are likewise noted to be a sign of if she's in danger of turning if they close.
* In the novel adaptation of ''ComicBook/FiendsOfTheEasternFront,'' Sergei is bitten by one of the eponymous fiends. The squad treats it by bandaging his silver Star of David pendant against the fang wounds in an effort to burn out the infection.

Willow and Xander are led into a trap by Luke and Darla, the latter who reveals their friend Jesse to them who's holding his neck in pain and notable blood seeping out of the bite wound as he stumble towards them proclaiming "Heck of a kiss", showing that Darla clearly bit him (which we find out later was against The Master's orders, but she couldn't help herself and wanted a little taste).
** In ''Angel'', Darla uses this to frame Angel and turn Buffy against her by tricking Buffy's mother, Joyce into letting Darla into their house, biting her, then leaving Angel holding Joyce as she leaves just as Buffy returns. Making her think Angel had bitten Joyce due to the bite wounds on Joyce's neck.
** In ''Phases'', Buffy finds out a former classmate of hers was attacked and killed, at first thinking it a werewolf attack. But when the way the classmate was killed doesn't stack up to how a werewolf would operate (as they don't normally leave bodies in pristine condition), she visits the funeral parlor during her wake and finds the bite marks on her neck confirming a vampire got her... right before said classmate turns and rises from her casket.
