Jasper explains the bites in the movie. It was in ECLIPSE. I don't know how you missed it....Bella literally says..."Hey you how bites like mine...how did you get them?" Jasper proceeds to tell her that he was in the 1800's Southern Vampire Wars. Jasper was in a coven of a lot of vampires...most were newborns. HIs creator, Maria, recognized Jasper's powers of controlling emotions. She had Jasper use this power to control the newborns. But this wasn't always easy....and Jasper suffered many bites from the newborns. A vampire bite full of venom is the only way to scar a vampire....and Jasper has been bitten many times. Humans can't really see these bites because they're so light and pale. Once Bella becomes a vampire...she now see's all of Jasper's scars. And apprently they'e VERY bad. Bella said that Jasper's whole body and face are riddled with bites from the newborns. While Jasper wasn't the head of the newborn coven (that was Maria), he was kinda considered the "big cheese" and was in a command sort of role. He trailed the newborns soon after they were created (hence many of the bites)....then later, when the newborns reached one year old, their powers weakened to that of a regular vamprie. The newborns were desired by Maria because of their great stregnth. It was Jasper's job to kill these newborns after one year. I'm sure he receivd many bites because of this. But, a lot of the bites were probably accumulated when his coven warred with another newborn coven....and was bitten. Jasper was also bitten in ECLIPSE during the Newborn Battle trying to keep the newborns from Alice. Bella noticed that Jasper seemed a bit uncomfortable.....and Edward told her that it was from the newborn bites because they sting.
