For Kim, tattoo is a metaphor for hidden desires and the body is his canvas. To create his Duet series, Kim takes photographs of nude female and male bodies then paints his 'social tattoos' on them using digital technology. His works have been shown internationally and are held in various collections, including the Seoul Museum of Art and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. He lives and works in Seoul.
