tagging (technique)

"Tagging" is a technique employed by graffitists to create a specific type of graffiti known as a "tag". This technique involves the use of a quick, stylised script or signature, often created with a marker or spray paint. The tag serves as a pseudonymous signature or logo for the graffitist, allowing them to mark their presence in a particular location without revealing their true identity. The act of tagging is often seen as one of the most basic forms of graffiti, both in terms of the skill level required and the simplicity of the resulting mark. However, within the graffiti community, the style and uniqueness of a tag can be a source of respect and recognition. A well-executed tag can demonstrate a graffitist's skill, creativity, and individuality. Tagging is often associated with the act of "bombing", where a graffitist aims to create as many tags as possible in a single outing, covering a large area or highly visible locations. This can be seen as a form of territorial marking or a way for the graffitist to gain recognition and "get up" in the graffiti community.
