David Chum is a Khmer-American artist, designer, and Body Art Practitioner whose work brings together fine art, fashion, cosmetic tattooing, and personal aesthetics. Through DCPC, he leads a multidisciplinary aesthetic practice grounded in design, proportion, and transformation.

His relationship to form began early. Drawing became an early language for observation, emotion, and self-expression. As a teenager, he taught himself clothing construction, textile manipulation, and costume design, using fashion as a way to explore identity, transformation, and self-possession.

After earning his BFA from the College of Art and Design at Lesley University, David founded the label Selahdor in 2009. What began as a self-taught pursuit in pattern making and garment construction grew into a brand featured by DailyCandy, Boston Magazine, and US Weekly, represented in showrooms in Boston and New York, and recognized nationally through Project Runway Season 9. His work became known for modern tailoring, strong visual identity, and refinement without excess.

That same sensibility now defines DCPC. Through advanced cosmetic tattooing for brows, David applies design-led thinking to the human face through anatomy-led assessment, pigment knowledge, and an individualized approach to shape, density, and long-term wear. His work includes brow restoration, alopecia support, and the refinement of previous brow tattooing, always with the goal of creating results that feel integrated, believable, and true to the person.

Wardrobe consulting extends that same point of view into dress, silhouette, and personal image. Across both branches, David works with clients seeking a more considered relationship to beauty, presence, and the way they are perceived.

Based in Boston, Massachusetts, David operates a licensed body art studio in Belmont, MA and works by appointment.
