M-Tac Patch Tactical Girl # 1 Yakuza PVC

From the middle of the 20th century, Pin-Up became a popular style within American culture, and Pin-Up girls reflected the beauty and aesthetics of the time. These were half-naked female figures with eccentric outfits, spectacular make-up and hairstyles that emphasized their femininity. This type of art became especially popular during the Second World War, when Americans with these beauties on display fought for democracy, defending the values of freedom and independence. At that time, images of Pin-Up girls raised the morale of soldiers, helping them to forget about danger. Usually, Pin-Up girls were depicted on the nose of the plane, which gave rise to the term “nose art”. Each flight could always be the last, so Nose Art had a special meaning for the pilot and the entire crew, embodying first of all character and luck. Inspired by the American Pin-Up culture of the Second World War, M-Tac has released a series of modern Pin-Up patches. The patch depicts a charismatic and extremely attractive, flirtatious and risqué Pin-Up girl, radiating beauty and strength of character. Her grace hides steel determination and readiness to enter battle at any moment. The girl’s body is covered with Yakuza tattoos – famous warriors of 18th century Japan who had their own code of honor and positioned themselves as the heirs of the samurai. Later, the Yakuza became a real phenomenon of the Japanese mafia and the criminal world, and tattoos on the body meant belonging to the clan. The image and meaning of the tattoos of each representative were individual, according to the path taken as part of the clan group. Most often, tattoos were made in green and red colors and represent freedom, independence, power, strength and the struggle for one’s place under the sun. Yakuza tattoo style is a real work of art, where each drawing has a deep meaning. A chrysanthemum is depicted on the girl’s body, which in Yakuza culture is associated with strength of spirit. Carp means courage and loyalty to the clan. Also, almost every sketch depicted water as a symbol of life, the power of nature and the fate of a warrior. Tactical Girl with Yakuza tattoos is designed to win the adoration of connoisseurs of traditional Japanese tattoo style and oriental culture. The patch is made of high-quality PVC material (polyvinyl chloride) with full-color printing. Thanks to a special production technology, the patch looks voluminous, and the image is clear even at angles. Attaches to clothing or equipment with Velcro.
