The best salons & beauty spots in Penn Yan

“Custom blackwork, fine line, and illustrative pieces at Wolf And Thorn Studio on the east side of Keuka Lake come from two artists sharing one chair, so nothing feels rushed. Mira Emmet leans botanical and detailed, Stephen "Taco" Hall handles black-and-gray, anime, Japanese, plus piercings.”

“BTK Ink is Billy 'the kid' Meyers' Geneva studio, known around the Finger Lakes for black-and-grey fine line realism with crisp detail and shadowing that actually holds up. Tattoos are by appointment, but piercings are walk-in... a skilled spot locals trust when they want it done right.”
