tagger
One who marks
A tagger is someone who applies tags—labels, markers, or identifiers—to things.
Graffiti taggers spray their signatures on walls and trains.
In data work, taggers annotate text or images with metadata.
The word also names the tool used: a price tagger attaches tags to merchandise.
In playground games like tag, the tagger is whoever's "it."
