Purple Rhino Tattoo Piercing

My boyfriend and I were in town for the week and figured why not try and get tattooed. Managed to find their Instagram, we just booked the appointments right through there. The shop is super cool, full of oddities (that are mostly all for sale) the artists themselves are super nice, I love that Carol collabed with us so much too. We were both super happy and excited with our experience and tattoos!! 👍👍

Great little spot. Found this randomly on Instagram when I moved into the area earlier this year and Ive already gotten two pieces done by Carol. She has amazing flash sheets ready to go but was able to do custom pieces to my specifications. Her response time is great and her work is fantastic.

One of my favorite places to get tattooed, i’ve been in 3 times now! Super unique atmosphere and everyone is super cool to talk to. David did an amazing rose piece for my first visit & Betty did my next two. I highly recommend booking an appointment with Betty, she’s the newest artist there, a blessing to work with & talk to & extremely talented!! Will definitely be returning soon.

The people at this place are DOPE! My friend and I came in as walk ins to get small matching tats and they were quick, professional, the design was perfect, and we had great conversations while getting tatted. Bryson and Betty helped us. Their senses of humor are wonderful and made me and my friend feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. The inside of the shop it has so many crazy and interesting decorations that you could spend hours just walking around and looking at them. The vibe of the place felt very friendly and it seemed like the artists had good relationships with each other based on their banter XDAll in all I highly recommend this place and I also highly recommend Bryson and Betty :)By the end of it we were all homies!

I recently had the pleasure of getting a tattoo at Purple Rhino, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The shops unique collection of oddities creates a captivating atmosphere, setting the stage for a truly memorable tattoo session. My artist, Tara, not only showcased incredible creativity but also maintained open and clear communication throughout the entire process. From discussing the design to the actual tattooing, Taras expertise and attention to detail were evident. Purple Rhino is more than just a tattoo shop; its an artistic haven where your ideas come to life. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a blend of creativity and professionalism.

AWESOME place. If you want a quality tattoo done by a great crew, go here!! Everyone was welcoming and super nice. Coffin of Curiosities displays are a must see.The communication and professionalism made the tattoo process easy breezy. Super happy with what I got. More people need to come check this place out and also have an awesome experience! 1000% recommend.

So happy I came across this shop! Such nice guys, and so helpful. Sometimes small shops like this can make you feel like you cant ask questions. But we felted welcomed and it was such a great experience. We ended up bringing home so many goodies. Cant wait to come back for more fun Oddities!

Betty and her appreciate took care of me and my friends. They are both so sweet and super professional. We are highly satisfied with our matching bobby pin tattoos! We really enjoyed looking at the whole store! 10/10 would recommend

I cannot recommend this place enough. I took a chance and walked in after seeing it on the street and skimming the reviews while i was killing time. The place is very clean and has a lot of charm, and all the employees were very nice and the piercing turned out well. There were also a lot of starter earrings to choose from. What stuck out to me the most though was how comfortable Randy Candy (my piercer) made me feel, I was pretty nervous about getting pierced and he made me laugh and helped me relax with breathing exercises. He was clearly very knowledgable and helped a lot in finding the perfect spot for my helix. He explained everything about the piercing and aftercare thoroughly and made sure i knew i could ask questions. The piercing itself was also very quick which was nice. Cant recommend him enough, i have 0 complaints. Keep in mind during my visit they only took cash or zelle. Will definitely come back for more services!

Leaf is an absolute GEM. Although shes an apprentice, she shows an incredible amount of talent, expertise, and professionalism on par with industry veterans. Everyone at the shop offers a kind and welcoming presence, and the shop itself is like an attraction in and of itself -- all the unique decor gives it a museum-like atmosphere. I will be back for all my future tattoos and piercings!

I went in to see the apprentice Carolina to get a floral design tattoo and fix a heart tattoo I’ve got somewhere else and I’m so in love with the fine lines and delicacy of the tattoos. She was great and did an awesome job.

Very friendly people, mercy gave me earlobe piercings and made me feel comfortable and calm the whole time!

Fantastic shop! One of the friendliest places in Chicago, with the most interesting collection of oddities and history. Cant wait to go back!

Awesome experience! Went alone & everyone was really sweet and helpful.

Incredible must see shop. Great staff, awesome decor and how can you go wrong when the artist name is Randy Pizza Candy.

Randy does all the animal bite piercings! Fish bites! Snake bites! Mosquito bites! All of them! He should start doing Rhino bites

Absolutely love the people at this shopI have gotten multiple tattoos from themSuch a fun experience

Got a flash tattoo from Bryson here. Very cool shop with very talented artists!
