ty i just started and datz great advice

[Krey-z]

* Do not write your tags on your personal property, such as schoolbooks, bags, inside of your hat, back of your desk etc. If you want to practice your tag style on paper, make sure you throw the pieces of paper out when you finished. Keep your sketchbook hidden in a safe place. Keep your photos hidden in a safe place too. Doing so will make the evidence harder to find when your house is searched.
****


* Keep a low profile. Do not tell every writer you meet your real name & where you live, until you fully trust them. You do not want everyone to know who you are, what you write, and what your tag is. The risk of getting caught increases the more people you tell! When writers get caught, they are usually asked for information on other writers. It is possible that someone might 'spill the beans' about you accidentally or intentionally, when being questioned.


* Never tell anyone about your plans. This is one of the golden rules of not getting caught. Tip-offs are common.


* Do not write your tags close to your home or neighborhood. By doing so, you will keep your position / home-base secret. There was a writer once that bombed the trail that lead from his home to the railway station. Over time, the trail got bombed out so much that you could work out where he lived by following the tags!


* The number 1 Golden Rule of not being caught is "Make sure that you do not fit the Profile of a Writer". This simply means, when bombing, don't dress & look as a writer. Some of the best 'camouflage' you can get is geek clothing (eg. shirts with a collar etc). Also, consider keeping your markers / spray cans in a plastic grocery bag. Keep your shoes, clothes and hands clean from spray paint. Keep your nails short too. This will prevent spray-paint from going under your nails, and becoming hard to clean. When questioned, the first thing you are asked it to show your hands.


* Check for cameras before you tag. Don't forget that some (infa-red) cameras can see in the dark.


* Want to stop your cans from rattling? Attach a magnet to the base of the can. The magnet will hold the ball bearing in place! (Round strong magnets, that fit perfectly to the base of the can)


* Wipe your fingerprints from empty cans and markers that you throw away.


* Never hit your favorite spots over again. Try to keep a random pattern of places that you hit.


* Always have an excuse or alibi ready.

p.s: i didnt write this, got it off an article, dope advice there

I've punched a security guard before. or "good samaritans" also.

["inkie"]

guide to getting up(not the game) as published in all city
no one's going to tell you what you can and cant hit. after all, the idea is to paint as much as you can right? you should, however, avoid hitting places of worship, art installations, cars, small buisnesses(they have little to no dough), and statues. basically stay away from anything that strikes a chord with the "little people." it will save you a lot of grief in the future.

In the beginning, tag everything, go all out.

once youve saturated your immediate surroundings, it will be time to hit other neighborhoods. a good way to do that is choose a different subway station every night and hit a four to six block radius around the station. painting things that move is a good idea. find out where the city keeps its garbage trucks, buses, and subway cars. they go all city all day, but its one of those risk versus reward scenarios. yeah it will make a nice flick, but will it run? and if so, for how long? some companies have all white trucks. those are the best to get. they rarely get buffed and can be anywhere on any given sunday.

Once the city is locked down, think of the motorists. many people commute into the city by car. lockdown the highways and bridges. People are usually in bumper to bumper traffic and mad pissed. give them a little eye candy; rock rooftops along the highway, go big. if its a virgin rooftop, hit it with a blockbuster and a few fill ins - dont leave any space, make it yours.

^^^ good words.

wooped or killed if a rival gang finds out it was you. dont do it for your friend, your girlfriend or anyone. i see some writers on tv and they get paid to do it for some rap company in a music video, the way i see it
they are sell outs no matter how good they are.

Rival "gangs" will find out who you are anyway. Be prepared to recieve a few punches to the head in exchange for doing something you love, nothing comes free. Also, fuck selling out. If you can make money off graffiti, do it. Life is full of opportunities, and that'd probably be one of the best ones you'll ever get. Art is art, and it's something you should be entitled to make money off. Play the system, don't let the system play you. Almost all the kings I can think of have "sold out" as you would put it.
Never snitch, always run, be prepared to fight your way out of situations and never start beef with cunts for no reason.

[SOHA BOMBERS iNC.]

this shit might sound real wack but its what i found on like a goverment spot so this could be what they're looking for

How to Spot a Tagger
clothing is baggy; hoodies and baseball hats
pants with pockets for felt markers (cargo pants are ideal)
backpack full of spray paints and graffiti tools
out late at night and early morning; taggers work mostly under the cover of darkness from dusk to dawn
graffiti/doodling on personal items (school books, skateboards, under the brim of baseball hat, etc.)
graffiti and hip hop posters up in room and read graffiti magazines
have a wide variation or markers and spray paint for graffiti
multiple spray can heads: "caps", "fat", "skinny" refer to interchangeable spray can nozzles to allow for various spray width and coverage
has a sketch book ("piece" book) for practice
schoolbooks have repetitive scrawling (graffiti) and/or cartoon-like drawings on them
"racking" the graffiti term for stealing; shoplifting spray paint, markers, or graffiti supplies
carries camera to photograph graffiti

let's not get caught
