tagging/graffiti
who does it? what do you tag? What cans do you use?what nozzles do you prefer to write with?
Me I tag and do throw ups..(a quick bombing cause i cant bomb properly) I usually use krylons but If im stealing them Ill use dulux. My preferd nozzle is a rustoloium or a pink dot..but sometime a german outliner come in handy. |
i don't know anything about tagging, i just get the can & spray...
|

I write...
I'll use anything I can steal, but i prefer krylon or rusto as they are less water based than some of the cheap brands. Paint markers: Deco, streaks, magnums, woodies... Tips: never stock... |
Damn I wanted to getinto tagging...still do just don't know where to start....
|

ive been graffing for 6 years.....
Tips:skinny bannanas,german fats and outlines,pink dots and orange dots, basically anything nice yo... style,:bombs,throwies, tags of coarse cans: rusto's, montana's, and krylons word....... |
hell i aint tag shit. i aint gangster
|
5-6 years I been writing... not much since I moved though.
I posted a tutorial on piecing a while ago in this forum with pics n everything. Valor basically said it. I had like 80+ diff Krylon cans and a whole lotta nozzles, but when I was moving countries customs didnt let me take em.. The extent of my shit nowadays is tagging random things with a homemade fatty marker while im walking down to KFC. |
i am a writer. i've been doing it for about 11 years now.
what names did i hit up with??? fame 209 ('94-'98), nfamus 209 ('98-'02), best wun ('02-__) my favorite cans??? definately krylon, rusto, and montana. my favorite tips??? hands down.....they've gotta be german fats and german thins. new york fat tips are cool too......but not my main choice for piecing. HOWEVER, a dope writer doesnt need a specialized tip to make a masterpiece, word-ola. my style of tagging??? honestly, i do it all. i do anything from detailed stickers to quick paint marker hit-ups, to bombs, characters and wildstyles. also, i've had the honor to work with n.y. graf legend stan 153 (on more than one occasion). s.v. krylonius |
Someone Teach Me!! LoL.

my best quick advice for you...
practice with simple '80's style bubble letters. once you get comfortable with those......start developing them into your own style. over time, you'll gradually find your niche. s.v. |
^^^sometimes simplicity is the key. word-ola.
s.v. |
I Don't Know The Styles...I've Written My Rap Name "R-Rated aka Restricted" With Pencils On Paper and With My Finger On Car Windows That Were Fogged..
With Like Arrows....Know What I Mean....I Dunno What The Styles Called. But I Do Wanna Get Into This and Paint On Buildings, but Can't You Get In Big Trouble? And How Much This Shit Cost? ~R~ |
in all honesty, trouble with the law comes with the territory.
in some cities they have legal walls for you to hit up on, so ask around. die-hard writers wont hit those walls because they look at it as half-assing and cheating the process, but they are good places to show off your skills and practice your art. as far as styles to practice with..........i started by using the letters from credits on "the fresh prince of bel-air". i found that they were clean and simplistic. once i mastered those.....i began to complicate 'em up. but dont rush things. graf style takes years to define like any other talent.....so dont feel rushed or frustrated with your work/progress. my advice... if your really interested, purchase a graf mag or graf video and do your research. oner... s.v. |
I'll write a tutorial on graff if enough people want it...

Sv's right. If you want to write you're going to run the risk of get popped. The punishment is different for lots of places depending on the city's policies, tolerance, and/or the activity of writers in the area. It can range anywhere from a misdemeanor to a felony for freights and other such mediums. I would suggest getting up in low risk areas if you're starting out and aren't paticularlly quick at your craft. As far as cost, i would say there is little to no cost involved unless you want to get paint, markers, etc through legal means which could be pricy. However most writers just rack all the above, including me personally. |
