What is graffiti. Characteristics of graffitis.
The most common styles have their own names like a tag
witch is the most basic writing and personal signature of
an artist's name with spray paint or marker.
Tags
often contain the artist's initials or other letters and
sometimes cryptic messages.
Another form is the throw-up
or the fill-in which is normally painted very quickly with
few colours.
A piece (short form of masterpiece) is a
more detailed representation of the artist's name with more stylized
bubble or block letters and often with three or more
colours.

A blockbuster is a large piece covering a large
area with two contrasting colours.
A more complex style is
wild style with letters, arrows and connecting points.
A roller is a fill-in that takes up an entire wall
with the purpose of blocking other writers from painting on the
same wall.
Some artists also use stickers as a quick way
to get-up. Sticker tags are done on anything with
an adhesive side to it.
Stencils are made by drawing an image onto a piece of
cardboard or paper and then cut with a razor blade. What is left
is then sprayed over.
To bomb or hit is to paint
many surfaces in an area and bombers often choose throw-ups
or tags as they can be finished more quickly.

Ancient Graffitis
Graffiti has existed since ancient times. Graffiti can
be anything from simple scratch marks to wall paintings.
There are few theoretical studies of ancient graffiti or
its interpretation. Graffiti has often been marginalised
in archaeological and historical studies.
