i started in the early 80's ,officially . for me this was a goal to attain, to have perfect control over the can and taking a great tag was the addiction. yes tagging is addictive but all in all it is a creative outlet. think about this ' there are no perfect marriages in the world of art only successful rape' trust me when i am on the phone unconsciously scribbling on paper i am not regressing, just expressing my self. yes tagging is addictive but i will not agree that taking a tag is a mental defense mechanism. writers start when they are young like kids who pick up instruments when they are young. writing is form of expression an addictive art form . we are creatures of habit.
