Hi David,

Over here Graffiti still means the same thing it always did but the person
that does it has some sort of image or symbol they use instead of their
name, so they can claim credit with other graffitists (?) and that's known
as their 'tag'.

Regards


Daniel

Kent is revealing his Eastern bias...Tag is a misused term. <br>
Tags were the stickers, separate from the plates. <br>

So now that the definition of Tags has become corrupted, fewer <br>
