Had an appointment with Karina for a simple 444 tattoo, not only did she make my vision a reality she is incredibly gentle and I was in no discomfort, we chatted about her art and she made me feel comfortable and welcome, will be back for more work! If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you Karina!

I love my piercing! I got a belly button piercing, Chloe did it and I absolutely love her vibe, how she made me comfortable and the vibe of the whole place! I will definitely be back.

Chloe was amazing! She explained the whole process to me and made me laugh so I want too nervous. Very accommodating!

I got my nostril pierced with Chloe and had an amazing experience. I have about 8 piercings and this was by far my favorite encounter with a piercer. She explained everything she was doing in great detail, opened all packages in front of us, provided internally threaded jewelry and was just amazing to converse with. My total came out to 60 dollars including the 20 dollar deposit you send to secure your appointment. Will be going back very soon!!

Chloe did an amazing job piercing my ears! She explained things well and answered all my questions thoroughly. I had a blast with the whole process, will definitely be coming back here to get more piercings in the future.

All of the staff are amazing here, but I go there for Leigha. Leigha has done 8 pieces on me, she's very personable, reliable, and always willing to offer help and suggestions. I give her an idea and she does her own thing, and I've never been disappointed.

Update July 2025: also got pierced here by Chloe. Excellent service and very clean. She explained every single step as she did it. They also sell the saline wash for after care which is very convenient. Got a flash tattoo for Halloween from Chris, I love it. Super clean and professional

Great experience. It's a clean, well-run parlor with talented and thoughtful artists. Leigha, in particular, did excellent work on both tattoos I went there for. I highly recommend Purgatory if you're looking for a new tattoo.
