“We trade from time to time-furniture for tattoos.”Īs different as they may seem, Kim and Karina are a stable unit and have been for the past 20 years.
Small items of children’s clothing are hung like miniature artworks, so delicate in their subdued tones, and unique in their intricate details. Across the street in Karina’s recently opened shop Frankey Sue, it still smells of fresh paint.

Kim’s tattoo business Papanatos has claimed its domain in a former butcher shop.

We’ve all heard it before: opposites attract.
