Taggers will generally write their own nickname and their crew initials. They may also write the names of other crew members, but this is usually done only when the group is working together. Since fame and notoriety are what they seek, tag crews are not usually territorial. They love to tag freeways or trains so that their graffiti will be seen by a wider audience. Many taggers thrive on finding spots which have never been hit by graffiti so they can claim the fame for breaking new ground.
Taggers often feel an adrenaline rush when they tag an unusual location, like a rooftop or overpass.
The element of danger involved in tagging these areas only adds to the rush. Taggers will generally stay away from residential property, committing most acts of vandalism on business or public property. To many taggers , graffiti is a culture and a way of life. As a tagger begins to build a reputation, he or she will chose a style and nickname. As taggers gain more experience, they will look for larger walls and locations that are more difficult to reach.
