    I frequently find myself tagging inside, whether it is in a washroom, a subway, or whatever. When i am choosing my ink i usually look for 3 characteristics:

    1) hard staining - my experience has taught me that when indoors, chemicals are usually used to remove tags, rather then a layer of paint.

    2) lack of smell - being inside, the wind isnt going to carry the smell away, and some of the stronger smelling inks can easily alert the pigs or other enemies to your activities

    3)quick drying - this serves the same purpose as lack of smell. if someone goes by something you just tagged, and its still dripping, wet and smelly, it is obvious you are the writer.

    _______________________________________-

    inks i have tried:

    ****: takes a few minutes to dry, doesnt smell that much, and is relatively hard to buff with solvents.

    ON THE RUN "HARD TO BUFF" :current favorite-dries in under 10 seconds, has a moderate, sweet smell, and is similar in buffing difficulty as **** INK

    KRINK: smells like shit, takes forever to dry, is buffed very easily with solvents.

    ______________________________________

    what are your experiences with inks, and do you have any reccomendations that would top OTR HARD TO BUFF on my three categories, i would especially like to find an ink that is similar to OTR in smell and drying time, but is harder to buff with solvents. i have tried adding brake fluid, but that increases drying time.

    PEACE!!

    I mostly use sharpie magums. They have no smell and dry in seconds. I also use montana ink. But if i want to get really Tech, then i mix ink from sharpies and montana with a little paint thinner if i want extra leak. That makes for Epic handstyles

    True...the smell goes when it dries, though.
    I like to use a straight razor to modify my sharpies sometimes, too. Leaves a cool lil design there.
    Really, though the one thing that's better than markers is sand paper. My personal favorite.

    do'em dirty mop + outdoorsman ink.
    = noticing 2-3 week old tags to be fading a bit, but the drip's aren't as much.

    k60
    = caught on old tag (1yr+). Darker than my 2-3 week old tags w/ do'em dirty's outdoorsman ink

    Love the squeezer, i would have to say better then any other mob that i've used......... however i did pick me up the Grog Squeezer Marker 25 (Paint) not so happy with that one.... ink look's real Nice's...... i don't know it mit just be me. but is seems there is not a whole lot of paint in it.... does not drip as good as the ink....... but the ink is the way to goo... the one thing that does kind of suck with both ink/paint you have to take it easy on the nip's they do fuck up quick if you really going at it.. "if that makes sense"..... but you can wright on any surface... over all ten star's
    Any one play around with the molotow speedflow Masterpiece's.... what you guy's think.. i have one but im not to sure what i think of it so far.

    I've been writing with it for the last few month or so.... and it's holding up pretty good..... two or threeweek old tag's look like they just got thrown,but then igen i would have to say it's all on the surface... I've used red/blue/black/purple/magenta..... they all look pretty good.... My two favorite color's are magenta and black.. If you can find your self a nice white surfaces the magenta really pop's out..loveee itt...... i was thinking about trying out the green.. mit just throw it in my next order...

    0ink is the best ink ever made handsdown theres nothing
    better it stains hard and most of the colours take a long time to fade
    black being the best...
    Im also going to try Mr Black Ink soon seems like a fairly new company.

    yes grog ink is amazing somone tried to buff my tag and it bled right thru. grog is very high quality ink just make sure you dont get any on your pants or your hands. last time i spilled it on my hands they were pink for at least a week. but if you do get it on your hands get some olive oil rub it on your hands and use soap and water and the rough part of the sponge, it will slowly rip off the skin cells that the inks on.
