The chosen ''10-15 graffiti artist'' part

Q: What do you call a person who does graffiti?
      It depends on what they do and who is answering your question.
        If they leave the same design everywhere, it would be their 'tag', so would be called ‘Taggers’.
        Otherwise, they would be simply referred to as 'Graffiti Artists'. 


** From the previous post i've shown the street art/graffiti works (2nd photo shooting), from there we'll  be choosing 10-15 graffit artist work to talk about in detail now.
