Miles Langford’s tattoos include shoulder lettering, a large eagle and snake across his torso, a scorpion at his wrist and smaller designs on his hands and arms. He’s a model and tattoo artist, and the photos here show different periods: earlier portraits focus on his chest, while later studio shots show more of his hand and arm work.
The chest piece has bold animal outlines, a shaded rose and a small HOPE tattoo. The later images show a collection of separate marks. Since these photos come from different points in time, they don’t establish exactly how every tattoo looks today.
The sweeping script tattoos across his shoulders
Long cursive lettering follows both collarbones, with loops and extended strokes reaching toward the shoulders. The words aren’t clear enough in the photos to transcribe, but the script’s shape is easy to see above the much broader eagle below it.
The lettering follows the line from his neck to his shoulders, forming a narrow frame at the top of the chest piece. In some portraits, the lower torso is cropped and the script remains in view; its stretched direction contrasts with the eagle’s upward-pointing feathers.
The eagle, snake and rose tattoos on his torso
An eagle spreads across Langford’s chest, its wings rising on either side and its hooked beak pointing toward the center. Beneath it, a snake bends across his stomach, its open mouth and long body creating a second shape that leads the eye back toward the feathers. Several areas inside the outlines are left relatively open, so the large image doesn’t read as one solid dark patch.
A heavily shaded rose sits near the top of the chest, with a small HOPE tattoo nearby. The dark petals and plain letters provide a contrast to the open lines of the bird and snake. Eagles, snakes and roses carry familiar associations, but Langford hasn’t explained a specific meaning for these pieces.
The scorpion tattoo at his wrist
A small scorpion sits along Langford’s wrist, with its segmented body, pointed legs and raised tail visible above a jacket cuff. The tail curves toward his hand; darker sections add weight without obscuring the legs. Small marks continue onto the hand nearby.
The wrist is a narrow space, and the scorpion follows its length rather than spreading across the joint. Langford hasn’t identified it as a zodiac sign or a tribute, so its subject and placement are the details we can confirm.
The skull and crossbones tattoo on his hand
In photos from his Ghost Cartridges collaboration, a skull and crossbones sits near the wrist on the back of one hand. The skull faces the fingers, with clear sockets and teeth; crossed bones extend around it. A small smiley, narrow lettering and other marks sit nearby.
In one shot, Langford is holding a box of his signature cartridges, so the hand tattoos appear in an ordinary working gesture. The skull is the largest image, but the smaller pieces keep their own spaces rather than forming one matched design.
The cross and spiderweb tattoos in his arm collection
One collaboration portrait shows a cross inside a rounded, cloud-like border on Langford’s arm, with a spiderweb spread below it. The cross is compact; the web reaches across more of the forearm. Their outlines remain distinct among the neighboring tattoos. His other arm has larger shaded figures and denser shapes.
Langford also discusses his work as a tattoo artist in the Ghost collaboration introduction. He says he learned in New York and Los Angeles, then returned to London and founded The London Social in 2019. The video below features him talking about that side of his work.
