[quote user="PA and ERR"]Do you know that nearly all taggers belong to criminal gangs?[/quote]That's actually more urban legend than truth. While there are plenty of gang taggers, their graffiti is typically quite different than "artistic" graffiti tags. Most gang-related graffiti is territorial in nature, to denote a particular gang's turf and are typically one color and very simplistic in nature. The colorful and stylistic tags we often see on frieght cars (like many modeled in this thread) are more the work of graffiti "artists" that are only criminals by way of their choice of expression, vandalism.Wikipedia has an informative article on graffiti, available <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graffiti">here</a>.
