The fat-tip marker has become a mainstay for the street artist since the rise of Hip-Hop inspired graffiti in the late ’70s. The theory is that the more toxic the marker, the better, as toxic markers hold a higher chemical compound that withstands any conditions threatening a tag’s removal. Of course, the fatter the marker tip, the better as well. No one will remember a felt-tipped tag.
