Tag (graffiti)
A tag is usually the writers name, but not usually their real name. It is not good when two people in a town use the same name, or if someone uses the same name as a famous writer or famous tagger. Usually the names people tag are short (only 3-5 letters) so they can write them quickly. Tags usually use letters from the latin script even in countries where people don't use them in normal writing. Writers tag in their own special style, called a handstyle.
