How can you say yes to pieces but no to tagging?! The piece CAME from the tag! It won't work!

see at 31 thats what makes graffiti look crap and makes people think its a nonsense but really there toys with no style just tag to be down with something they have no idea about but really there's more graffiti that doesnt look crap than does..

@TheGrafkid woodbridge rd..dunno if the police station or even the garages are still there tho!

[TheGrafkid]

@howiedanja what police station?

[SUCHROXWELL]

This is honestly hilarious! You could probably find a local news report from every region in the country for every year since 1984, where some smart-arsed councillor thinks they have single-handedly devised a unique strategy to eliminate bombing by earmarking some out-the-way shitty wall as a 'graffiti zone'! Genius!!........Or. Perhaps local authorities are aware that it's a fight they can't win so are content to just make these weak gestures to the media to appease angry constituents?? Hmmmmm

@TheGrafkid the garages up from the police station

I LOVE HOAKSER, BUT DISAGREA THAT GRAFFITTI NEEDS TO BE CONTROLLED. THE WHOLE POINT IS THAT IT IS NOT CONTROLLED!

selly oak used to be the place to be.

i think they should relegalise it, and hire somebody to look at the wall designs before people do it, just so they know that people arent going to tag all over the place, i think by doing this they will cut down on the tagging in the area. obviously they arent going to get rid of it all together, tagging will be around as long as graffiti is. if the government complain about tagging so much, surely they should do something about it.
