Golden Serpent Tattoo in Missoula

This piece by Nicole Miller at Montana Tattoo Company is a powerful custom tattoo. It features a detailed golden serpent, its scales rendered in rich orange and yellow tones. The serpent is coiled around a central green symbol, drawing inspiration from Mesoamerican art and creating a striking focal point.

Vibrant colors and swirling patterns fill the background, framing the main subjects. This isn't just a snake tattoo. It's a bold, artistic statement that blends cultural motifs with classic tattoo design. For a unique custom tattoo in Missoula, this is the kind of detailed work we specialize in.

The Work

This tattoo is a great example of illustrative color work. The challenge was balancing the intricate scales of the serpent with the bold, graphic shapes of the surrounding symbols. Nicole used a mix of precise linework and smooth color saturation to give the piece depth and clarity.

The color palette was key. Warm golds and oranges make the serpent pop against the cooler greens and blues in the background. This contrast ensures the entire composition remains readable and visually engaging from a distance, a hallmark of skilled tattoo artistry.
