Dim is a tattoo artist and visualist based in New York. He currently works out of a private studio located in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. Grounded in micro-hyperrealism, his work spans a range of styles including pet portraits, animal tattoos, nature-inspired color tattoos, fine line, black and grey, and color realism. He pursues intricate and layered detail, regardless of scale.

Since teaching himself how to tattoo in 2015, he has been invited as a guest artist to cities such as New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Boston, San Francisco, Austin, Toronto, Paris, London, Berlin, Rome, Singapore, and Taichung.

His approach to tattooing is not simply about “drawing” an image. Dim begins by establishing structural form, then gradually layers bones, muscles, and skin-like elements to shape the image. Rather than reproducing a subject as it is, he breaks it down and reconstructs it through his own visual language, building a new sensory structure that adds a deeper, invisible sense of realism.

This method extends beyond tattooing. Using a visual language that inscribes sensation and memory onto the body and surface, Dim expands his practice into material structures such as print and sculpture. He focuses on irreversible traces formed only through the hand’s intervention and the resistance of material, using them to explore and construct sensory structures that cannot be replicated.
