A Vibrant Sphynx Cat Tattoo in Missoula

This stunning back piece by Mickey Schlick at Montana Tattoo Company brings a mystical Sphynx cat to life. The design centers on the cat's intense, expressive eyes and a prominent third eye, creating an otherworldly focal point. Set against swirling patterns of black and white, the vibrant orange and red ears make the entire image pop with energy.

Mickey Schlick's approach to this custom tattoo blends realism with a distinct, graphic flair. The result is a powerful and unique piece of body art that commands attention. It's a fantastic example of the detailed, creative work we do here at our Missoula studio.

The Work: A Wanna-Do Style Realism Tattoo

This piece is executed in Mickey's signature "wanna-do" style, which merges hyper-realistic rendering with bold, illustrative elements. The challenge was balancing the soft, realistic textures of the Sphynx's skin with the hard, crisp lines of the graphic background patterns. Achieving that depth and contrast on the skin's canvas requires a steady hand and a sharp eye for composition.

The use of color is strategic, with warm tones focused on the cat to draw the viewer in, while the monochromatic background swirls add movement without competing. This technique is a hallmark of a skilled realism tattoo artist in Montana.
