What is Graffiti?

• Graffiti is a type of deliberate marking on
  property, both private and public.
• Graffiti artists would tag on public property
  without permission. This is called vandalism.

  the artist or gangs territory. The artist would
  tag their name plus the street they occupied at
  the time.
• Graffiti art has developed over the years into a
  respectable art form. Graffiti art has moved away
  from vandalizing buildings and subways to a form
  of public expression.
