In fact, many are in their late 20s and 30s. Another misconception is that all graffiti is “art”. It’s not. While there is no denying the talent of some graffitists, much of it (especially that stuff produced by disgruntled teenagers) is nothing more than vandalism. And there’s also the misconception that once a building, wall, or sidewalk has been “tagged” there’s nothing that can be done. Pressure washing can dispel that myth forever.
