Graffiti Materials (To Write/Graffiti With)

Alright Ive noticed a lot of people have graffiti eggs that state that they only use graffiti as a Tool. Well there’s plenty more needed to make a good burner or piece. From markers To Spray Paint. I made a guide that will help get your name local.

Markers:

-Paint Markers

Great for sketching,stickers,tags. These are great to sketch with. They cost around 4.00$ a marker. There are many colors available. I use these to write on my grip-tape. Shows up Great.
-Hardcore Markers

One of the best. These are great for nice fast tags. With these it takes me 2 minutes to do a nice tag. These are about 5.00$ a marker.
-Sharpie

These vary is sizes, There decent for tagging/sketching. I personally don’t like them.
Stickers
-Usps Sticker

-Hello Stickers

Not Commonly used but still are easy way to get your name out. These you have to buy or else steal. These not really that great but get the job done.
Spray paint

Spray paint, The most common use for graffiti. Spray paint is used for throw-ups, pieces, burners, and tags. Graffiti brands range from Krylon, Rusto, or any other brand. Cans are from 1.00$ to 5.00$+.

When doing a throw-up/piece caps are necessary. Don’t use those crappy caps already on. Caps vary from super skinny caps to Fat caps. There all good to have when doing graffiti. Caps come in usually 10-200 packs. There about 10$-50$.
