Tagging

== Overview ==
Tagging is a type of graffiti where the artist (or tagger, in this case) "tags" a location by painting his specific tag. Tagging is generally what comes to mind when people think of graffiti or street art. Though it is true that tags are considered to be a type of graffiti or street art, they are not the most sophisticated or respected variety. 
== Definition and History ==
A tag is generally composed of a short string of letters or symbols and is meant to signify the taggers name or some sort of social or political message. Tagging is the simplest and most common form of graffiti. Though tags are generally small and done in only one or two colors, they can also be larger and more elaborate. 
Common locations for tags range from bathroom and abandoned building walls to the sides of freight trains (though some locations and styles of tags are respected much more than others).
