If you don't know about automatic metal punches, they're a great solution to these fuckin' things. Small enough to be palmed and will punch right through a screen with little effort.
Yep.. brass punch. Graffiti mop with a metal tip full of brake fluid/ink combo does some fun stuff too.
Hang on, that's just a bingo dotter...
edit: God I forgot how much I hate what the graffiti community has become. "Oh just etch your tag in so it will be harder to remove" what fucking dipshit toy came up with that? Did impermanence just get forgotten? Where did the obsession about not getting buffed come from?
As someone who does slaps, I'm no stranger to the idea of temporariness nor do I really try to combat it. My work sticks around then disappears, as I will eventually myself. As for the obsession of not getting buffed who knows, likely born out of the gang affiliated side of graffiti, same boneheads who fight people physically over turf, etc.. But since we were discussing obstructive protest I think it's worth a mention. Speaking of which - don't get a weed sprayer off of Craigslist and fill it full of paint, that sort of thing could lead to no good.
Thank you for your service.
Fuck me
With a metal punch? That seems kinda... organ-burst-y
