Limited Edition EDC Patch Designed by Japanese Tattoo Artist
At Tactical Geek, we believe gear is not just functional — it’s personal.
Our mission is to blend tactical performance with creative expression, and BG19 is the perfect embodiment of that vision.
This exclusive patch is our first collaboration with renowned Japanese tattoo artist Horimukade — an 8×6cm high-density woven artwork that weaves together the worlds of EDC culture, spiritual symbolism, and personal resilience.
A Symbolic EDC Patch
More than a patch, BG19 is a badge of identity.
It portrays the artist in a powerful personal pose, carrying the Cache L3 “Flame Rebirth” Shoulder Bag — a Tactical Geek limited edition bag created to support California firefighters. This bag, featured in the patch design, donates 50% of its proceeds to the California Fire Foundation (CFF) to aid disaster recovery efforts and frontline heroes.
BG19 merges utility and symbolism, embodying our shared belief that gear can carry both tools and truth.
Global Limited Run — 100 Units Only
This is a true collector’s item.
Only 100 pieces will ever be made. Each patch comes with an individually numbered birth card and will never be restocked.

Artist’s Statement — Horimukade’s Manifesto
This design is a reflection of who I am — forged through struggle, symbols, and solitude.
I appear in a personal pose, carrying the EDC L3 Cache bag by Tactical Geek — a part of my daily ritual, a vessel for what keeps me grounded, prepared, and in motion. But my face is not mine — it’s a skull, and within it, the presence of Santa Muerte reveals itself. Not as decoration, but as essence. She lives within the bone, reminding me that death walks with us, not against us.
Omnia Mors Aequat — death makes all things equal. And through that truth, I find clarity.
Surrounding me is the mukade — the centipede — my namesake and my totem. A creature of endurance and tenacity, it wraps around the scene like a guardian spirit. It doesn’t break. It doesn’t stop. It reminds me: no matter how many times I fall, I rise again.
This piece carries my philosophy, my scars, and my fire — all stitched into lines and shadows.
I am Horimukade. And this is my way of surviving — through art.
