taggers

Street art outlaws

Taggers are people who apply tags.

The term most often means graffiti writers who mark surfaces with their signature or symbol, especially those who tag prolifically without elaborate artistry: The taggers hit every train car in the yard.

In other contexts, taggers label items—tagging merchandise in retail, tagging data in databases, or tagging wildlife for tracking.
