Particularly, some people see it as simply a side effect of changelings' general actions during a round whereas others seem to want it to be more of a way to detect a changeling. So, there's two very similar possibilities here:
1) Whenever you eat someone, you get blood all over you and them. Basically what OP said.
2) When you eat someone, you get red sludge on you and them. Not blood, but red sludge. Essentially innards that have been partially mushed and digested. It'd be visually indistinguishable from blood, until you look more closely, when you see that the clothes are "sludge-covered" or "sludge-stained".
Option 1 just produces a side-effect of ling eating that doesn't change much to a ling's behaviors. But, option 2 would make the changeling player have to be more cautious about feasting.
I agree with both options. Of course my original suggestion is more akin to simply adding a bit of atmospheric blood, I believe Changeling in general should create a bit more blood to mess with people. As well part of my suggestion is that I think Changeling should have to be more cautious, nothing insane, but it would add a mechanic of washing your clothes, more paranoia, among other things.
Generally, Changelings should be a bit messier when they're actually doing the spooky stuff, encouraging them to get somewhere isolated and alone with their prey.
