A knot generally featuring two loops and two loose ends. Bows will be seen on clothing (many serafuku have them), in hair, on panties and other lingerie, on shoes (shoelaces are usually tied in a bow), and pretty much any place that there is something that might be tied.
Bows are often made of ribbons, but the same object shouldn't be tagged as both. If the bow's tail is far longer than its width, tag it as ribbon instead.
If a bow is tied at the neck in place of a necktie it should also be noted as a bowtie.
For the weapon used to shoot arrows, see bow (weapon). For the item used to play a musical instrument, such as a violin, see bow (music). For the act of bowing the head or body, see bowing.

FAQ
Does NovelAI recognize bow?
Compare the samples on this page. Every tag on this site shares the same seed and base prompt, so any change you see comes from bow.
How do I write bow in a prompt?
Write "bow" near the front of the prompt and separate it from other tags with commas.
Should I use V5 or V4.5?
V4.5 shows the tag's effect more strongly. V5 gives steadier images with fewer artifacts.
