About this design
This barbed wire heart tattoo captures heartbreak and strength at once — clean symmetrical shapes made to heal through art. Every curve and spike carries contrast: pain and beauty, loss and clarity. It’s made for collectors who like subtle gothic or emotional symbolism tattoos that still read bold and balanced.
Meaning & symbolism
A bleeding heart tattoo means feeling deeply, even when it hurts. The thorns symbolize lessons, the drops of blood represent emotional truth. It’s expressive, relatable, and timeless — the kind of flash that stays meaningful through every phase of life.
