GRAFFITI TAGGER PROFILE

Tagger: A mostly derogatory term for an inexperienced graffiti writer; or used as a general term for all graffiti vandals or writers by law enforcement or graffiti abatement teams. A tagger is the same as calling the one who places graffiti, a toy.  In most circles, someone that has skills or props in the graffiti placement world is more correctly termed to be a writer.
