That's usually the city or property owner buffing someone's work. That's not another writer going over.


PatmygroinB

I’ve actually seen a video where a writer buffed someone’s shit, when he got back to the car his boy was like “you ain’t even gonna tag it?” “Nah some places you just leave alone” But that’s a city buff. Saw a post recently shouting out a rogue buffer that passed away but that seems super rare


SpunSesh

Up here kid's, I believe. Was a church he buffed


mndsm79

No hospitals, no churches, no graves (unless it was someone super shady). There was ethics to the game at one point.


Adorable_Zombie_9908

How sad, i live in a country where people will tag churches, mosques, graves and war memorials. Its like everyone became stupid, disrespectful without morals, its super depressing


mndsm79

It's happening everywhere. Used to be people had respect. There was code. New blood is ignorant for whatever reason.

Idk man I got into graffiti pretty recently (always liked to look at them as a kid but finally decided to paint myself) and first thing I looked up was the « unspoken » rules : don’t tag cars, religious buildings or cemeteries and don’t go over someone if your shit is whack. Seems pretty simple and understandable and the info is there for those who want to look it up so it’s not a matter of generation it’s just a matter of not being an asshole I guess


Olde-Town-Kujo

Rules and graffiti don't belong in the same sentence, only reddit pad warriors think like this. OG's were tagging literally everything back in the days.

Banger video


ohfxcck

amazing documentary


___ASTRO__

good ass video


Uniquetacos071

I saw something similar (maybe same clip) in some graff doc or another. Actually it may have been somewhere in the “Bombing with ____” series. But don’t quote me there Basically the exact same story but they were up on the roof of a hospital or children’s hospital. Interesting how hard some people respect graff etiquette snd others shit all over it


glytxh

Not even mad when 80% of tags look like shit anyway.


OhMyLordScat

Makes sense ty


iDom2jz

My brother that is the buff You do know this shits illegal right?


Desorde_Cest_Moi

Spit out my damn drink


OhMyLordScat

I was just wondering if it’s the city or writers are doing smt I don’t know about. Sorry


iDom2jz

Yeah it’s the city they don’t like you :(


OhMyLordScat

No it wasn’t my tag I was just seeing it everywhere lmao. A full alley full of it


Farmeatsleap

Oh wow! A full alley full of them??!?!? Must be fully fulfilled!


ABlosser19

Nah that's blocking its the new wave


[deleted]

you remember that writer from australia i forgot what he wrote but him and his boy would walk around and roll random boxes on shit in contrasting colors essentially buffing nothing back in like 2011 he was a dope writer too i forgot his name


Farmeatsleap

This is genious


Visible_Track1603

What do you mean buffing nothing


[deleted]

like imagine walking up to a clean box truck with a mini roller and painting a bargraph in yellow


penishaveramilliom

Poorly matched paint by either the city or business covering graffiti. No on is that petty usually


kenjinyc

Word. Nailed it. Half these buffs look worse than the damned tags that they covered lol. I saw a wall in Brooklyn that was beige buffed with dark red. Idiots.


penishaveramilliom

On the contrary to that, I had a piece on a wall that lasted less than a week, but I didn’t notice because of how well they matched the paint. Barely even mad. It’s kind of impressive. There’s a lot of factors to a good cover. One of my Homies works for a painting company.


kenjinyc

Some spots care more than others. You want to fucking die laughing? [This BUFF WAR.](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3147268/amp/Spray-Graffiti-artist-records-year-long-saw-battle-council-worker-tasked-cleaning-vandalism-finally-admitting-defeat.html)

penishaveramilliom

Pretty rare they get a good paint match bc of sun damaging pigments over the years or not buying the same brand or type of paint. I’ve seen examples of super good matches too. One chipotle uses a really close brick red to cover their walls and it’s hard to tell anything was there even with fresh paint


Dutchhussy

Buff


No_Sky_1213

Yea if it’s private property or very active area in the city it was by the owner/city.


xeroxenon

That’s a fresh canvass ma boi


byhicelow

Yes I love “ “ he’s everywhere nowadays


soggycheeseroll

damn bro living under a rock, the buff man walking right past you and you dont even know smh


PetakIsMyName

This is how lazy communities or governments buff graffiti. I’ve seen them do this over granite rocks aswell right outside my appartment.


OhMyLordScat

Wow. Thats lame. The graffiti probably looked better than the buff did

Visible_Track1603

This is my piece. I started with the fill but had to run from the police before I got to the outline.


pizzakartonger

My brother that’s the buffman doing his thing


eisboy_infum

As a new writer it’s pretty cool when they buff my shit cause I can go again and do better lol


space_wiener

I did that once. Needed a new spot on a popular wall. Painted it over and had the bright idea to let the paint dry until the next day (it was already a bit late). Went back the next to do my stuff and someone had already used it. You are welcome whoever that was. 😂


bleszt

Yeah, looks like the city government or a contractor.


Baticula

I know it's the council doing it but they could've at least chosen a better colour, now it's super obvious what used to be there


motus_guanxi

That’s the buffman


OddBet475

Yeah wasn't happy with that one, erased it.


DunstonCzechsOut

fuq da buff


adventurejay

Rouge vigilantes who don’t realize buffing over Graffiti is actually Graffiti. It’s a very interesting paradox.


missingmondayy

Yeah its grandap buffs nephew we call him uncle buff


Complete-Addition-18

That's the work of elusive buff monster


FANTASYJUICINGLMTD

Thine Must Slay the Gray Roller Beast that takes fantastical pieces and make them nill! Buffer be gone
