Tagger crews primarily do graffiti. They usually consist of no more than three individuals, who are more interested in street art than violent criminal activities. Taggers are the predominant source of graffiti within Salt Lake County. They typically will not cross out the graffiti of other tagging crews or street gangs. “Battles” or wars, waged between groups of taggers, can create thousands of dollars worth of damage in a single night as tagging crews compete to put up the most graffiti. Graffiti is the tagger’s voice. They do graffiti for fun, to gain status with other Wtaggingh ycrews,? and because they become addicted to the adrenaline rush they get when they tag.
