Yeah it's difficult, I had loads of shit names before I settled on Pure.
Look at what other people are writing and what those words mean, then choose something of the same ilk.

Me too, had loads of names over the years and changed em to try and stay incognito, seetled with my current one now though.
I'd advise also try and come up with something unusual that people will remember, like I say it's not easy

Be smart about it though fella.
Make sure you is in the clear before you start writing on things and try and only write on stuff owned by the system.
No writing on Ma and Pa's pizza shack or little businesses cos you're only fucking over the little guy then.
Probably better off with a pen to start of with, get yourself an "On the run" pen cos it's really inconspicuous.
You're much more likely to get caught with paint.

What about the name "race"?
Or "daft", "mess", "duck", or something?
Anyone willing to contribute?

Write Mes, there is a resonably well known Mes over here but don't worry about that.
It's a good name with good letters.
Get on it.

It doesnt have to be four letters! Mine was two words 5 letters and 3, its whatever floats yer boat. In fact i dont think that any of my tags have been four letters but i know most of the big boys have favoured four.
Some Artists prefer certain letters to others as well.
Practice is the key fella!

I like duck. I would go with that. I'm more into the verb meaning of the word. Rather than the noun. Like "DUCK MUTHA-F#*CKA" That word is in your face. Like Graffiti should be. Ive had quite a few words myself. It took a while to settle on Mines. I also write another word, when doing ruthless tagging in my own city limits. Ive been busted a few times and the kind of know who I am. This enables me to use the recognition I have from my graffiti name in galleries, and murals. But appear as a reformed legal artist. When all the while. I am still at large. It has worked so far in two cities.
