Banshee Arts

I found Banshee and Morpheus through happenstance. Considering I wanted to get some old ink corrected and some new work designed, I made an appointment and went by. I am forever glad I did.
Her shop is cozy, inviting and has great energy. Morpheus is pleasant, her energy is positive and her conversation great.
Now, on to her work…
I’ve been tattooed quite a few times by quite a few different artists and over the last 30 years. To be frank, she is bloody great at her work!!! She got the concept I was trying to design right away. She came back with an emailed initial design within a few days. I went in for a final consult and approved the artwork. She nailed what I wanted right on the head.
The execution was excellent. Her fine lines are clean and well executed. The design was sized perfectly and placed perfectly. She works with great attention to detail. Her touch is light but every line was complete and perfect.
I greatly enjoyed working with her. So much so, that I booked, on the spot, a date one week hence for another piece. Soon, we will begin to fix the scratch work on my back.
I like working with professionals but I especially like working with professionals that I like. Trust me, you’ll like her art, her execution, her shop and herself.
Go out and book her now.

I had a chance to get some ink from Morpheus before Banshee Arts had its own shop. Regardless of the venue, I felt very safe and supported in her care — particularly noteworthy as the session included some ritual elements. Oh, and the tattoo came out great. Why can’t I give six stars, Unilocal

Morpheus is truly awesome. My Mom, sister, and I have been in touch with her for about six months to design a tattoo for us and after having it done today, we couldn’t be happier. She worked on the design long distance (I am in Chicago, my sister is in Arkansas) and was able, even through email, to create a design which exactly matched what we had in mind.
As it was my Mom’s first tattoo, Morpheus spent a lot of time walking her through the process and explaining as she went. Her warm and calming energy made the experience simply wonderful.
My sister and I both plan to have her do additional work on us next year. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!!

Morpheus does really great work. She has done 3 tattooes for me so far, the third being most recently in her new shop in Berkeley, which, btw, is really cool & chill. Love all 3 tattooes, the designs, the actual tattoo process, & the long term viability of them. Highly recommend her!!!

I got a beautiful tattoo here last week. When I went in for my initial consultation, it was basically with the approach that I had a surgical scar I wanted covered up, and whatever she thought would look good, I was happy to get. I wound up with a design that I *love* and she spent a lot of time with me going through the inks to make sure the colors were exactly what I wanted. I had to hold my arm awkwardly while she worked and she was very gracious about me needed to stop and stretch a lot. I definitely plan to be back here for more.

Morpheus is a wonderful collaborator to work with on tattoo design. She is very intuitive and gentle during this process. Her sense of color is rich and her method of shading is very detailed and true. Her energy is authentic and her delight in her work is evident throughout the whole process. I highly recommend.

Morpheus is a true professional and talented artist. She did two small celtic/​viking knot tattoos for me, and I was very impressed by the intricacy of her work. During our consultation she listened to what I wanted and asked many questions to clarify. She also voiced concerns with clear explanations for why certain things I wanted were not good ideas for tattoos. Plus, she has good taste in music and while I was getting tattooed, she played epic songs that made me feel like I was riding into battle. She is awesome! Go see her.

Morpheus is a true artist. Her level of dedication and professionalism sets her apart from other tattoo artists. She is respectful and her shop is clean and inviting. I have received many compliments from the tattoo Morpheus has designed for me. Her line work is unique and eye catching. Her tattoos are true works of art. I recommend anyone looking for a tattoo to talk to Morpheus first. I will be working with her for other tattoos.

Morpheus is fantastic. She worked with me over email to understand all my ideas and created a gorgeous design that was better than I could have imagined. Her work is excellent, I would trust her for any more tattoos I might choose to do.
If you have something, even just a collection of ideas, work with Morpheus! You won’t be disappointed.

Morpheus is one of the best, having apprenticed with Idexa Stern! She is talented, professional and, frankly, her rates are a bargain. She did my last piece, and I couldn’t be happier.
I’m glad to see she has ended her own place in Berkeley.
