they suck it up
^^^To improve on the above answer. Ticks bite into the host animal. Their saliva contains a mild antiseptic - which stops the host animal noticing the parasites bite. The tick then draws blood from the host animal by way of a long, tube-like structure. Once the tick is full, it drops off the host to digest its meal, then finds another host.
