Gothic Bow Tattoo Stencil with Devil Heart Center drawn as a soft goth ribbon design that works for sternum, under chest, stomach, arm, or back of arm placement. The bow is tied around a tiny devil heart, finished with a beaded chain and star charm, so it reads cute at first glance but has a darker alt girl twist. The size works beautifully as a small or small-medium tattoo, easy to place and scale without losing detail. It suits people searching for a gothic bow tattoo stencil, devil heart bow tattoo, or coquette bow tattoo design that feels more original than basic Pinterest bows.

This design is built for clean stencil transfer, with smooth lines and enough space inside the bow for your artist to shade, keep it simple, or add color. The structure is flexible enough for sternum and under breast placement, but also scales down nicely for arms, wrists, hips, or behind the shoulder.

About this design

The bow is drawn with rounded, slightly exaggerated loops and long ribbon tails that flow down the body. A small heart with devil horns sits in the knot, and a dotted chain with stars hangs underneath like jewelry. The style mixes fine line ornamental, cyber inspired curves, and a touch of neotribal attitude, so it feels feminine without being too sweet.

Meaning and vibe

This bow tattoo works for anyone who feels soft and sharp at the same time. The heart suggests care and emotion, the tiny horns and star charm add boundaries, mischief, and quiet power. It fits goth coquette, e-girl, and soft alt aesthetics, especially if you want a bow that says more than “cute and harmless”.

Placement ideas

• Sternum or under chest - centered bow under the bra line, hanging slightly toward the stomach.
• Stomach or lower belly - placed as a ribbon above the navel or as a centerpiece over the upper stomach.
• Upper arm or back of arm - bow sitting like a tied ribbon around the arm, good for soft goth sleeves.
• Shoulder blade or upper back - placed between the shoulders as a delicate but edgy accent.
• Wrist or ankle - scaled down as a small flash piece that still keeps the devil heart detail.

Every body is different, so this stencil is a base layout. Your tattoo artist can easily adjust size, length of the ribbons, and curve so the bow follows your own anatomy and sits exactly where you want it.

Review highlight

Many buyers mention that starting with a clean digital stencil is what keeps their healed tattoo sharp and balanced. Clear artwork lets their tattoo artist focus on linework and placement instead of fixing blurry references, which means smoother curves and a bow that still looks crisp years later.
