Miley Cyrus has been showing off her new tattoo and claimed she has “only love” in her heart.

The pop star revealed her latest inking on Instagram.

The design, on her left upper arm, is a rose with black leaves and thorns.

Cyrus has recently returned to the recording studio following her split from Kaitlynn Carter.

She captioned the picture on Instagram: “When asked if what you say and do is done with purest intentions and only LOVE inside the heart?”

An hour later the singer wrote: “Every. Rose. Has. It’s. Thorn.”

Cyrus recently said she was “inspired” as she returned to the recording studio following her split from Carter.

The 26-year-old is said to have broken up with the reality TV star in September.

The couple had started dating shortly after Cyrus announced her separation from husband Liam Hemsworth in August.
