I am Horimukade, also known as Holy Mukade — a tattoo artist, designer, and visual creator based in Osaka.

For me, tattooing is not just about skin and ink; it’s about human connection. It’s the art of transforming scars, memories, and beliefs into sacred symbols that stay with you forever. I believe deeply in the power of marks — both seen and unseen — that shape who we are.

My journey is a bridge between two worlds: the military and strategic discipline of my years in Spain, and the attention to silence, detail, and aesthetics I’ve absorbed in Japan. This duality shaped my artistic vision: every tattoo is a fragment of history, a piece of the Ship of Theseus, a proof that we can change countless times without losing our true self.

I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with brands and projects that reflect this philosophy:
• Anicorn Watches × Kojima Productions (Fragile Express)
• Sneakreaper Industries
• Proyecto Ruelas (helping stray puppies)
• Guerrilla2020
• Tactical Tacos
• SurvivalTacticsSupply
• Killermaru 20th Anniversary
• Tactical Geek
• Viperade
• PrintedWicked
• Outtalucktools
• Holdfastleatherworks
• NMGoonGoods

Each of these is a connection, a bridge built with creativity and respect. My purpose is to keep building bridges, not walls — uniting people, ideas, and cultures through art.

My path is also guided by my devotion to Santa Muerte, guardian of life and death cycles, reminding me of the sacred fragility of each moment. Her presence is part of my work, my altar, and my life’s vision.

From all this, my personal concept was born: Homo Stigmata — “the marked man” — one who embraces his scars as sacred trophies, living proof of his own legend.

My mission is to help you carve your victories, losses, and story onto your own skin.
