Is there a way to dye dark hair purple without bleaching it?
If you want a rich dark purple, the type you’d find in a colouring pen then I think you’d have to bleach the hair first. However if you’re happy for your dark purple to be more of a tint on already dark hair then you can just dye over your current hair. I would suggest dying your hair without bleaching first (maybe only with temporary colour)… and then if that’s not what you want you can always consider bleaching hair.
