Man i write so many names, one name i like is “wet bread”. I got it from that meme that goes “y’all rinse y’all bread before eating?”, it’s just an unpleasant/funny phrasing
My first tag was basically my legit name lmao. Since then tho gone through a few names but picked mine after a video game character named Vile. At that point tho I stopped caring about graff and was inactive for years until winter 2020 when I met with my sensei who taught me hand styles and gave me the blessing to push the big boi crew now that I'm grown up, told me its a tough name cause it also sounds like "vial" aka a crack pipe lol now I went from tags to bombing to making characters to just appreciating the art form in general and having fun instead of obsessing over my ups or who's up just do your thing homies! Stay up!
I didn't know that a vial was a crack pipe thing lol. That's good though that you are enjoying graff though. I always advocate for doing graff however is satisfying for the individual.
@@ScizGraffiti Yea idk either but if it makes my name sound better I’m down for it lol yea man graff has really come back into my life after cutting off some of the bs in the NYC scene.
There's 2 amazing graffiti walls close by my house, and I love to go there every now and then to see all the new art. I always wondered how they came up with their tags!
my first tag, was my nickname "clair" and since i am a beginner and still learning the "R" looked like a "B" so everyone continued saying "but, you wrote claib" and i used to get jokingly angry about it, but one day i playfully started tagging "clab" and my tag has now became that lmao
I used to write Dr.1 when i was in highschool i liked the versatility of the name, being able to do "Dr" or "Doctor" or "Docta/ Dokta" and the 1 just makes it go together
My tag is "HAÎKU" which is a kind of japanese short poem with specific metrical rules. before getting into graffiti I used to write those really short phrases or poems (my aim was to make people reflect or just tell jokes) on all sort of things. When I got into tagging, i just thought it was a cool name that nobody had (at least in my city). I also liked the oriental sound it has and the letter H I guess my way was the bonus one
Very unique video, took me awhile to come up with a name I like. Also I just got delivered my OTR.070 hard to buff round nib. Haven't gone tagging yet, but looks great.
My tag is humba cause when i was four my parents got me a pet rabbit that i had been wanting forever. My four year old mind immediately came up with the name humbarimbo for this rabbit who has previously been caller bob. I loved him a lot and ig its my way of honoring him.
Ive been thru alot of names because i like to switch em up cuz the same one gets boring After more than a decade i recently started using my actual nickname and i shortened it to three letters for little throw ups or for when i use a mop Also i try to keep a secondary thats outlandish like its my supervillain persona (my secondary right now is CUMB LORD)
My first tag was "TRXSTER" But it was too long imo, but after 3 months of Skateboarding I start to realize that I always lose in every Game of Skate, so that's why I got a name called "SKAT" or "SKATONE", basically it's a word after the last trick attempt on a Game of Skate!
Oh that's true! It's before you get the E in skate! That's awesome man! There's a guy on insta who paints Trixter who's super good too. His stuff is super cool because I find that X and T are pretty hard to work with, so it's cool to see it done well.
I got other tag names before snotee it was ill nuff then snuff then snop then snot idk why i chose snot tho just felt like it and i just realized after a year that someone in nyc writes snot too earsnot irak crew that's why i made it to snotee! someday when i will go to new york i will totally write a style different from him and also my favorite question to ask to a fellow writer is "have u ever been caught?" Thanks for the video sciz! 😁
I was given my name, 35 years ago, and still write it. I was given it because of the way I was, that was long ago , and sense then , calm down immensely lol, I was a little bit of a short fuse sorta speak. But still running it today. 👍
I always feel like keeping the same name is the very best thing you can do for yourself! And its interesting you mention that cause I always had wondered for the longest time how my father manages to be so calm about everything, and how I was always so wound up. haha. And the older I've gotten, the closer I get to that as well and I feel like with age, a certain calm tends to come down on you...or maybe that's just people like us, idk lol. Either way, that's an awesome name!
@@ScizGraffiti it's true about the calming down. I think either I'm more tolerant, or understanding possibly 🤔 but I have been running the same name, but I do have others I've used and still do, and those names only hold one purpose, there purpose was to allow me to keep hitting the street, worry free, with different style and when I felt that name was getting hot, I would cycle through 2 other names, for a bit, and then return to the original. And that cycle continues as the years go on.
I'm new so I'm not deadest on anything yet. But so far, my top 3 ideas are: Limbo (after a Warframe character) Pathos (after my emo phase) Omertà (after my Italian roots)
@@ScizGraffiti yeah I like that one best for markers and mops. I have a really decent flow writing that name with a mop. I like Pathos for bubble letters and Limbo is good for the wildstyle type of lettering. But I can't manage do all three styles with one name lol.
I think that's a good choice. The super common tags are sort of hard to take seriously when you see someone writing it. Maybe that's just me though idk
So I took a nap man after doing some hit offs and i was still looking for a tag that stook so after I was done taking a nap I thought ooo taking a dozer and my tag is now dozer
I got my name by making a list of names that I liked and then choosing from there. One of them was "Sula", I thought it was cool so wrote that for awhile but then I realized that it didn't flow well in a throw up so I chose a different one.
The one time I was asking my gf what she would write if she did graff. She also picked some random thing from like Kingdom Hearts or something like that haha. Definitely not alone choosing names from video games! :)
i combined the year i started writing with two syllables of a name of a Japanese artist who was infamous for constantly changing his name for my current one mostly cause i liked the letters and then i got one I'm gonna go commercial with after I'm done vandalizing stuff which might be a while cause i really like doing things that hard way
My first tag was rapid and how that came to be is I. Was in school and I was just sitting there and out of nowhere I just took out a pice of paper and wrote rapid down and I was like that sounds pretty cool so yea
Hey man, theres this new crayola paint sticks being sold, its like 2 dollars USD, it comes in 3 diferent colors in a single pack and I think you should do a review on them
my current is RYM, i got it by messing with letters and i started out thinking LIGHT would be cool, but realized its probably common, then was laying in bed one night and just thought of RIM being a good one because I like cars and its short.. and i saw some other people using Y's to replace I's and liked that a lot more. its pronounced RIM but ppl do get it confused with RHYME, either is cool
One of my friends used to write Spazz haha. I'm on my third name which I'm sticking with but I've got a handful of burner names that I'll throw around cuz they're fun to write.
Unfortunately my desire to start tagging is to help me cope with the loss of my hero.... My oldest son who was killed 6 months ago he was 27 and he was everything to me.... Aimga Mugsah it means Red Eagle in our dialect... I’m trying to find a beautiful way to write it
mine WAS RESKO, but then i found RESK12 and was like fuckkkkk so i changed it to BESKO because it flowed the same as my old one. i could tell the old one would cause problems so i decided to skip the bs and change it.
Mine is crook, and has been for a while. I chose it because people always know me as such a good, nice, trustworthy person, but deep down I’ve done some bad sh!t but don’t really tell nobody, just like my graff tag, I don’t tell nobody that I do it.
Went with my childhood nickname originally, POOP. A unique nickname so everyone in my small town basically knows its me... not what i was going for. Been using some different acronyms since. WOP, WOMP, SEPCO, PO, POWOP
I created a anime type character that had the back story of being an intergalactic trash man but no name so I put a drawing of him on social media and told people to name him I picked four names that worked for me then ran a poll it ended up being Tonk I liked and started using it as my tag name assuming the identity if you will
@@ScizGraffiti heck yeah I've been making hella slaps too with that name the tag flows so nicely with the s and o curving and the l and c locking in with each other and the e for style
My current one is “cestone” and I was getting really good at it but literally one minute ago my mom saw it so now I can’t take it to the streets cos she’ll recognize it 💀
My current tag is "KRISP". My first tag that i have wrote anywhere was "EINZ", which was my legit name (Einartas), just shortened. Some time after i created that, i just thought that it was kind of 'cringe' and that it was easily recognisable. So then i think i made "DIGG" and two others, which included "CRISP" and "BEIGE" (yes, for some time i'd had three tags at once, but afterwards i've only sticked with "CRISP"). So yeah, i had used that for a rather long time, until it popped up in my head that i could just change the C to K. Aaand that's how i got my graffiti name :D
My first Graffiti was a SWAG Graffiti just freestyle (it was shitty) but now have a nice swag tag and i‘m using a Grog 15 xfp Marker and a grog 5mm mop. But iam searching a better Tag name rn
my tag is Kikiriki / Pituka. If there are any Hispanics here, you'll know "Kikiriki" is the "cock-a-doodle-do" we have. I used to like roosters as a kid so I got nicknamed Kikiriki and I forget how my family pulled up Pituka (i think its from an old TV show/cartoon) but Kikiriki and Pituka were my two nicknames growing up, so I used them to tag. It just felt right. I actually kind of have different roles for my two tags. I like writing one-sentence poems, whether it be quotes I see on the internet or quotes from my own stories (I'm a writer). For the more poetic stuff, I'll tag with Kikiriki. Just for fun and to play around with styles, colours, etc. I'll use Pituka. :)
Watching my grandsons visiting during the school holidays it's his 10yr birthday tomorrow for an extra present I got him a pack of paint markers he been trying this type of stuff so I'll show him this video his name is Higgins so I thought a good tag name would be Higgy what does the group think ?
I use 3 that are completely different from each other. I’ve taken several breaks from graf but I’m getting back into it again. Don’t have or know any crews where I stay now so I’m just going solo which can be a little sketch.
Yeah, harder to stay safe by yourself, but not as hard as it is to stay safe if you're bombing with people you don't trust. That's my positive way to look at it at least haha
i got 2 backstories to my tag, 'LASHES594'- 1 is that i have insanely long eyelashes lmao 2 is that my favourite song for about 4 years was called 39 lashes. 594 is the police code for stuff such as graffiti and vandalism
ha dope man! My lashes are sorta the same actually, although it might be hard to tell on cam. I've actually had girls tell me they are jealous of my lashes a couple times 😂😂 so emasculating
@@ScizGraffiti fax bruh i have lashes like that too, tho some girls say they like em, but it doesnt help that my ears are peirced lmao cuz it makes me look so fucking femine
I’ve been doing this (not very active these days though,I’m 51…..anyway I’ve had dozens of tag names….they’re constantly changing or evolving….I finally came upon 1 that will be it from here on out….no meaning behind it other than the way the letters come together
I have found that the more experienced writers I've talked to usually have had the same name for forever haha. Nice to hear something different. The letters you like approach is always solid 👌 especially with that much experience
still going through some names and everything but right now my tag is Boja, I have a skin condition called vitiligo which made some of my skin turn completely white. the word "Boja" is a croatian word for "colour". thought it was sentimental and cool so started throwing that up but im stuck on how to style it anymore. ive been using a simple style for a very long time now but just cant wrap my head around how to progress into something more skilled:/
I came up with mine a few minutes ago but don't don't if I'm keeping it. Dangea so it's danger but lose the r and replace with a. I haven't done any actuall graffiti yet I need to find a friend to do it with. I chose dangea bc I would like to do dangerous things like Motocross when I learn to ride, dangerous Skateboarding stunts etc so ye
nice :) I loved my motorcycle when I had it, but io actually never tried any motocross or anything like that. always looks like it'd be a blast though!
I was eleven and was at the state fair and I was taging everything and we were going by the lama’s and decided to write my tag on the inside of the cage and one started chewing on my shirt so I changed my name to lama 21 with a little lama under it lmao as I remember this story
I have Saint as a tag because I played a game that mentioned that a lot and I thought it was gonna be cool but everyone is making fun of me😞 should I change?
Nah, don't make your decision based on what other people think, only what you think. But Saint does have a lot of people who write it. It'll just be harder to stand out is all
When i was nine my friend starting skating and doing graffiti and i hung out with him alot. so i got into graffiti and skating then i was thinking of a ame and i thought of my last name wich starts with k so i wanted it to start with and it started raining an hour late and i was like oh krane.
I chose Kasi because they were letters I thought looked nice together but everyone who's seen it say it sounds too much like a girls name, is that a bad thing or should I be using it as cover?
I ways say it's less about the actual name and more about what the name comes to represent over the time you've been writing. Idk though, as long as you like it, I think it's dope 👌
my name was spike since summer but someone in my town strated also using my name and now everyone thinks im the toy and it sucks so i have to choose a new ne still havent decised
I used to write something that was pure me in ways cause of my anger and depression issues, main name was(Poem), this was all middle school and high school Then once I got older just start Using first letters of my fullname (TML)
Pink is a great high value colour :) I always try to work some pink into my pieces that have blue fill-ins. It's great for contrasting with blues I find
Trying to decide whether I should use “Remzi” or “Soni” Remzi is my online name backwards, and Soni I just came up with but thought it sounded like the company sony. Thoughts? I wanted an S and an O in it.
I haven’t done a lot of Tagging But when I do I use short letters instead of names. I use J with a top kinda like a T And on the other side of the J I connect either a ϵ or K And on top I do a ꒫ or 𐌈 It looks super dope when thrown together. Essentially combining initials or letters to form a single letter and it’s quick to throw up can’t fuck it up and it’s good to have something to look back on and see and be like . Damn lol.. why the fuck did I ever do that? 😂 And none of those letter are even in my name or initials idk. It looks like a JK sometimes but with a triangle above like a i dot. And the other looks like JC or JE kinda with a circle crossed out. Idk. Thought I’d share
I've been writing letter graffiti and I still don't have a tag name. I'm self-taught and I practise every day. I was thinking of Skull or with a M. Whenever I used to draw I would sign it by putting MK short for Mek11z. It's a lame username, but yet it's close to me. I'm still looking for a tag. I felt like MK was too short? I'm still very new to this.
Take your time man! Find what you like cause that's what really matters I think. Practicing is the best thing you csn do for yourself to find what you like I think, but that's just me
@@ScizGraffiti I'm still going to practise everyday and going to improve my writing. I went to a building with graffiti today and I took pictures to use as reference to how the letters make space for others. It's really cool. If I do come up with a tag name, I'll make sure to come back
I’ve just started graffiti but an inside kinda joke with me and my mates is that I’m “high on life” and I’m Turkish and This in Turkish is “ hayatta yüksek” and I quite like the word yüksek which means high and I got confused and actually thought it meant life so I put 1 in front as in “1 life” which is a name I like but I also like 1 yüksek which means 1 high and idk I’m only just getting started but I quite like the name and I like the way it looks when I draw it
Can you use a name that is already taken by someone in your area if you mix up the letters?? Because i am trying to find a name with the letters that i like but i can't find a unique name in my area i find names that are looks like with others names
That's dope! I'm always a bit jealous of graff writers who have been able to incorporate a number into their tag. It's like it introduces a whole new sort of context for the style. Idk, it's hard to explain, but a number really assist a tag sometimes I feel
Man i write so many names, one name i like is “wet bread”. I got it from that meme that goes “y’all rinse y’all bread before eating?”, it’s just an unpleasant/funny phrasing
how many names do u write?
Moist Oyster here. 😂
My first tag was basically my legit name lmao. Since then tho gone through a few names but picked mine after a video game character named Vile. At that point tho I stopped caring about graff and was inactive for years until winter 2020 when I met with my sensei who taught me hand styles and gave me the blessing to push the big boi crew now that I'm grown up, told me its a tough name cause it also sounds like "vial" aka a crack pipe lol now I went from tags to bombing to making characters to just appreciating the art form in general and having fun instead of obsessing over my ups or who's up just do your thing homies! Stay up!
I didn't know that a vial was a crack pipe thing lol. That's good though that you are enjoying graff though. I always advocate for doing graff however is satisfying for the individual.
@@ScizGraffiti Yea idk either but if it makes my name sound better I’m down for it lol yea man graff has really come back into my life after cutting off some of the bs in the NYC scene.
Vial isn’t a name used for crack pipes like stems (love roses.) Vials are little tubes with a cap that crack is commonly sold in.
@@ChristopherFerronNYC You have never met a crackhead but you have seen the documentaries I see, congrats!
I don’t have a crazy story I just like the way it sounds and the letters flow. Came with it up on the spot.
That works. It's cool how everyone chooses sort of differently
There's 2 amazing graffiti walls close by my house, and I love to go there every now and then to see all the new art. I always wondered how they came up with their tags!

How i came up with my graffiti tag “Resok” was by using my old tags and combine them
Nice. That definitely works!
mine is SpencerX, with 2 lines under it. Was my first idea and still is my fav.

my tag name is “twist” after the korn song,
the letters work well together and it looks super sick to tag
Yeah the T on the beginning and end would be super juicy to work with for sure. 👌
Mine is sinko
Yooo lets go is gunner be a banger
mine is kayo because an older guy i know went into a K hole at a music event, i was thinking and "Kayo" rhymed with it so i chose that
my current is RYM, i got it by messing with letters and i started out thinking LIGHT would be cool, but realized its probably common, then was laying in bed one night and just thought of RIM being a good one because I like cars and its short.. and i saw some other people using Y's to replace I's and liked that a lot more. its pronounced RIM but ppl do get it confused with RHYME, either is cool
I came up with LOACK3R its from a waffers brand that I liked named Loacker but I changed the e to 3,sometimes i shortened it to LCK3R or LCKR
nice! It's always nice to have a couple versions of the word to write. keeps it fresh and exciting haha
@@ScizGraffiti ah ok!,thanks

Some time after i created that, i just thought that it was kind of 'cringe' and that it was easily recognisable. So then i think i made "DIGG" and two others, which included "CRISP" and "BEIGE" (yes, for some time i'd had three tags at once, but afterwards i've only sticked with "CRISP"). So yeah, i had used that for a rather long time, until it popped up in my head that i could just change the C to K. Aaand that's how i got my graffiti name :D
Nice! K and R usually go really well together and the mlbame itself sounds dope, like a nice krisp style or something hahaha
Bese is my graff name because I like the way it flows
My first Graffiti was a SWAG Graffiti just freestyle (it was shitty) but now have a nice swag tag and i‘m using a Grog 15 xfp Marker and a grog 5mm mop. But iam searching a better Tag name rn
Im still trying to decide on a tag. I have a few options and I'm being very indececive
You can always try them out and see which one feels the best 🙃
Back in high school early 2000s I use to tag “FEZ” Fucking E-Z . slapping post office stickers and hitting up transit buses was e-z for me.
My tag is sweets because that’s my family’s nickname for me and I wrote it with 3’s instead of e’s and it just looked good.
nice :) family nick names are always good haha
I chose (troll) like the troll under the bridge because me and my friends used to go under the bridge and rip bongs
Haha nice
yea, my tags alor and i got it by starting with alore but wanted to change it up lol
Still hunting for a 4 letter one that isn’t in use in my town :/
ha yeah its hard!
@@ScizGraffiti got any ideas for me? Ima male so male tastes ;)
my tag is Kikiriki / Pituka. If there are any Hispanics here, you'll know "Kikiriki" is the "cock-a-doodle-do" we have. I used to like roosters as a kid so I got nicknamed Kikiriki and I forget how my family pulled up Pituka (i think its from an old TV show/cartoon) but Kikiriki and Pituka were my two nicknames growing up, so I used them to tag. It just felt right. I actually kind of have different roles for my two tags. I like writing one-sentence poems, whether it be quotes I see on the internet or quotes from my own stories (I'm a writer). For the more poetic stuff, I'll tag with Kikiriki. Just for fun and to play around with styles, colours, etc. I'll use Pituka.
:)
That's awesome! Nick names always feel the best to write I think so it's nice to have a couple good ones
Watching my grandsons visiting during the school holidays it's his 10yr birthday tomorrow for an extra present I got him a pack of paint markers he been trying this type of stuff so I'll show him this video his name is Higgins so I thought a good tag name would be Higgy what does the group think ?
Nice! Could work. It's a hard one with the 2 Gs and the Y next to each other but anything can work!
I use 3 that are completely different from each other. I’ve taken several breaks from graf but I’m getting back into it again. Don’t have or know any crews where I stay now so I’m just going solo which can be a little sketch.
Yeah, harder to stay safe by yourself, but not as hard as it is to stay safe if you're bombing with people you don't trust. That's my positive way to look at it at least haha
good video, helped me!
Glad to hear! Cheers bro
i got 2 backstories to my tag, 'LASHES594'- 1 is that i have insanely long eyelashes lmao 2 is that my favourite song for about 4 years was called 39 lashes. 594 is the police code for stuff such as graffiti and vandalism
ha dope man! My lashes are sorta the same actually, although it might be hard to tell on cam. I've actually had girls tell me they are jealous of my lashes a couple times 😂😂 so emasculating
@@ScizGraffiti fax bruh i have lashes like that too, tho some girls say they like em, but it doesnt help that my ears are peirced lmao cuz it makes me look so fucking femine
I caved in sciz and bought a krink 2oz mop in sliver man I want to hate it but I just can’t bring myself to 😂
haha I feel you man! The silver is super nice. I still hate myself for spending that much but it's satisfying to see the shiny thick drips 🤤
I’ve been doing this (not very active these days though,I’m 51…..anyway I’ve had dozens of tag names….they’re constantly changing or evolving….I finally came upon 1 that will be it from here on out….no meaning behind it other than the way the letters come together
I have found that the more experienced writers I've talked to usually have had the same name for forever haha. Nice to hear something different. The letters you like approach is always solid 👌 especially with that much experience
Trek is mine I just like the way I tag with that name so I went with it
nice, I like that one
@@ScizGraffiti thanks
Yo new to graffiti I was thinking about my name being RoKu because my grandma came to America to visit when I was six
Cool. Roku is 6 in Japanese right?
still going through some names and everything but right now my tag is Boja, I have a skin condition called vitiligo which made some of my skin turn completely white. the word "Boja" is a croatian word for "colour". thought it was sentimental and cool so started throwing that up but im stuck on how to style it anymore. ive been using a simple style for a very long time now but just cant wrap my head around how to progress into something more skilled:/
That's an awesome story for the name! And yeah, the j is a hard letter, but definitely a unique one. Would be a challenge for sure
I came up with mine a few minutes ago but don't don't if I'm keeping it. Dangea so it's danger but lose the r and replace with a. I haven't done any actuall graffiti yet I need to find a friend to do it with. I chose dangea bc I would like to do dangerous things like Motocross when I learn to ride, dangerous Skateboarding stunts etc so ye
nice :) I loved my motorcycle when I had it, but io actually never tried any motocross or anything like that. always looks like it'd be a blast though!
my tag name is kronk I got that from emperor's new groove
Nice. Lots if good letters in a good order with that one!
Great info. Salute!
I was eleven and was at the state fair and I was taging everything and we were going by the lama’s and decided to write my tag on the inside of the cage and one started chewing on my shirt so I changed my name to lama 21 with a little lama under it lmao as I remember this story
haha that is definitely a good story to go with the name
I have Saint as a tag because I played a game that mentioned that a lot and I thought it was gonna be cool but everyone is making fun of me😞 should I change?
Nah, don't make your decision based on what other people think, only what you think. But Saint does have a lot of people who write it. It'll just be harder to stand out is all
What about like an abbreviation, my tag I go by right now is YOLA which stands for “your one last attempt”
That works! Makes for some unique letter combos too with abbreviations
Write king to get instant respect
When i was nine my friend starting skating and doing graffiti and i hung out with him alot. so i got into graffiti and skating then i was thinking of a ame and i thought of my last name wich starts with k so i wanted it to start with and it started raining an hour late and i was like oh krane.
Haha that's awesome. It's funny how the brain works sometimes and makes up stuff like that
Hey idk if this is a good name but mine is smok can u tell me if this is good and if not how to make it better
Seems like a fun one to work with and great letters :)
My first tag was overzero it was based of my TikTok and username on a some games that I play
I chose Kasi because they were letters I thought looked nice together but everyone who's seen it say it sounds too much like a girls name, is that a bad thing or should I be using it as cover?
I ways say it's less about the actual name and more about what the name comes to represent over the time you've been writing. Idk though, as long as you like it, I think it's dope 👌
I'm gonna steal your tag
What do you think of NIKAMI, it's the first two letters of every of my 3 names
Sounds cool! Definitely a unique one and you won't have anyone else with the same name which is a big bonus
i write spawk cuz my favorite comic book is called spawn and i like to write k's so naturally spawk
An awesome mix of using a word and letters that you like. That's a dope name
my name was spike since summer but someone in my town strated also using my name and now everyone thinks im the toy and it sucks so i have to choose a new ne still havent decised
I used to write something that was pure me in ways cause of my anger and depression issues, main name was(Poem), this was all middle school and high school
Then once I got older just start Using first letters of my fullname (TML)
If I had to guess an acronym for TML (and don't ask why this came to mind but) I would totally say it should stand for Trade Marked Legend! XD
My name is Chino. I got it bc my family would call me "el chino" because my hair is curly, so i just stuck with chino
Nice! That's definitely a good one
I got mine from the German word for “island”
My one is slick i got it bc my grandad died and he had a slick back so i did that i honer of him
That's a great reason to take a name for sure
my tag is rozo , it's mean pink in esperanto.
i just like pink
Pink is a great high value colour :) I always try to work some pink into my pieces that have blue fill-ins. It's great for contrasting with blues I find
I'm gonna steal your tag
Trying to decide whether I should use “Remzi” or “Soni” Remzi is my online name backwards, and Soni I just came up with but thought it sounded like the company sony. Thoughts? I wanted an S and an O in it.
Remzi sounds cool!
What about osmer it has an o and an s and it is similar to your online name. Izmer is a pretty nice name btw.
night time is good time think new graffiti name its work for me
I haven’t done a lot of Tagging
But when I do I use short letters instead of names.
I use J with a top kinda like a T
And on the other side of the J I connect either a ϵ or K
And on top I do a ꒫ or 𐌈
It looks super dope when thrown together. Essentially combining initials or letters to form a single letter and it’s quick to throw up can’t fuck it up and it’s good to have something to look back on and see and be like .
Damn lol.. why the fuck did I ever do that? 😂
And none of those letter are even in my name or initials idk.
It looks like a JK sometimes but with a triangle above like a i dot.
And the other looks like JC or JE kinda with a circle crossed out.
Idk. Thought I’d share
I've been writing letter graffiti and I still don't have a tag name. I'm self-taught and I practise every day. I was thinking of Skull or with a M. Whenever I used to draw I would sign it by putting MK short for Mek11z. It's a lame username, but yet it's close to me. I'm still looking for a tag. I felt like MK was too short? I'm still very new to this.
Take your time man! Find what you like cause that's what really matters I think. Practicing is the best thing you csn do for yourself to find what you like I think, but that's just me
@@ScizGraffiti I'm still going to practise everyday and going to improve my writing. I went to a building with graffiti today and I took pictures to use as reference to how the letters make space for others. It's really cool. If I do come up with a tag name, I'll make sure to come back
I got my tag name from my initials which spell out Care lol
That is awesome :)
Yo sciz i cant figure out How to come up with a tag. I’ve gone through many names and i just cant find a good one rn🤷🏼♂️
It is hard sometimes. It's always good to. test different names out and just sorta see which ones feel good
@@ScizGraffiti ill try
I barely started and the name wich i like best is sano
Cool. There might be a couple other Sanos out there but its a good name!
I’ve just started graffiti but an inside kinda joke with me and my mates is that I’m “high on life” and I’m Turkish and This in Turkish is “ hayatta yüksek” and I quite like the word yüksek which means high and I got confused and actually thought it meant life so I put 1 in front as in “1 life” which is a name I like but I also like 1 yüksek which means 1 high and idk I’m only just getting started but I quite like the name and I like the way it looks when I draw it
Can you use a name that is already taken by someone in your area if you mix up the letters?? Because i am trying to find a name with the letters that i like but i can't find a unique name in my area i find names that are looks like with others names
I don't see anyone having problem with that. It still makes a unique name that way!
when i was a weird anime kid like at 10 i translated my name into Japanese and got Gizuru, and just chose to use that as my tag
Nice. A very unique one too. I doubt you'll meet anyone with the same name!
My first tag was “PTK”
I was thinking of making my tag like zeky or something like that
I like that one! Something about the z and k feels good with it
Hey! i just started to tag and ive chosen WANG as my tag! Do you know if this is taken!?
I got this tag by the name GOLFWANG.
Don't know but if you paint it good, it'll be a good name!
😂
@@iaganfoss what?
@@joshpetrenko8512 thats another word for dick so I thought you were joking
Hi is Bear a good tag
Anything works but yeah! There may be a couple others out there with the same name but the main thing is just that it works for you
6ftup Cause im 6.1 and if i need to do it quick i can do 6ab for 6above cause i dont want 6up cause i want the two tags to be different
That's dope! I'm always a bit jealous of graff writers who have been able to incorporate a number into their tag. It's like it introduces a whole new sort of context for the style. Idk, it's hard to explain, but a number really assist a tag sometimes I feel
