graffiti tag
Spray-painted street name
A graffiti tag is a stylized signature or symbol spray-painted or marked on public surfaces—walls, trains, bridges.
Tags are the simplest form of graffiti, typically a writer's pseudonym rendered quickly in a distinctive style: The underpass was covered in tags.
Taggers build recognition through repetition, leaving their mark across a city as a form of identity and territorial claim.
