No, there's no risk to giving hickeys. Nothing is infectious from the neck.
If they have oral hsv1, and you kiss them on the mouth, you might get it, if you don't already have it.

To understand a little more , it would be more to get from mouth to mouth versus my mouth to her neck correct auntie Jessi?

Yes, herpes is spread mouth to mouth, mouth to genital, genital to genital and genital to anal.
The skin on your neck and other places on your body is too thick for the body to penetrate.
