WHATS YOUR STYLE?!

Tags
Tags are basically the graffiti writer’s signature; if they’re associated with a crew, they might also contain the crew’s name or initials. Tags can be done with spray paint, pens, and markers. Tags can be found anywhere, inside or outside.

Throw-Up
A Throw-Up is a quickly done piece of work. Mainly meant for in and out situations. Usually only containing no more than three colors or two. Throw-Ups are used more often because you can throw up numerous spots rather than just one.

Stencil
Stencils are used for quick designs that can have good detail. Its not used as much as a throwie but it still works. Usually only used with spray paint.

Stickers (Slaps)
Using stickers for quick tagging without markers or paint.

Wildstyle
Wildstyle is a particular style of writing that was developed in New York City. It’s a complicated stylized form of writing that is not easy to read. Wildstyle writing has arrows, spikes, curves and other elements that give it a wildstyle look. Wildstyle is often 3D and is considered to be one of the most hardest forms of graffiti.

Piece
A piece is a graffiti painting, more detail and time than a throw-up and having at least three colors. Writes who do pieces often gain more respect because pieces are more time consuming and involving greater details. Some pieces are allowed on buildings because of the great art that it is.

Blockbuster
A blockbuster is used to cover maximum area in a minimal amount of time. Often consisting of large block letters, paint rollers with long handels are used. Usually these are used to go over other crew graffiti or get their name out there big.

Heaven
Heaven is a spot that is dangerous to reach. Usually a heaven spot to graffiti is on top of high buuildings, train bridges, freeway signs ect. Anywhere you can die trying to graffiti is a heaven spot. If pulled off though, a writer can gain a lot of respect from other writers and you also know it would be hard for someone else to cover up your work.
