Evolution of a Graffiti Tagger

 

Beginner

select a tag name

practice writing tag over and over

writes on books and personal items

may begin to tag in the community, referred to by taggers as "getting up". Common tagging areas are schools, buses, mail and newspaper boxes, etc.

will tag if the opportunity presents itself

may see the term "toy" written next to new tags. "Toy" means inexperienced or incompetent tagger.

 

Developing

will have established a unique style to his/her tag

may start a "piece book", a graffiti practice book

associates with other taggers

may form or join a tagging crew

will tag more frequently and in more difficult places (rooftops, under bridges)

will try "throw ups", balloon or bubble style letter two coloured mural

will go out late at night (dusk to dawn) for the express purpose of tagging

strive to be "all city", which is a graffit term for having ones tag visible over a large area, such as the Lower Mainland

 

 

Practiced/Hardcore

will begin doing more "piecing", which is an elaborate mural with many colours

will have a very elaborate "piece book" with "pieces" outlined

has all the graffiti tools (spray paints, magazines, photographs of work, paint masks, etching items, etc.)

the pinnacle of expression for a tagger is acheived by "piecing", a painting or mural done with spray paint in graffiti style (short for masterpiece), or "bombing", which is a multi-coloured piece or a crew name in large bubble letters

will look for highly visible areas to "showcase" their work (murals), such as rail cars, buildings, along transit routes, rooftops, etc.

carries camera to photograph graffiti
