Editorial note

  • The concept of "bitings" in the graffiti community refers to the frowned-upon activity of copying the style and graffiti of another graffitist and then taking credit for it. This is considered disrespectful and against the unwritten rules of the graffiti community. While beginners can learn by copying techniques and styles from other graffitists, it is expected that they will eventually develop and create their own unique style. The term "biting" is derived from the slang term "to bite", meaning to steal or copy from someone else. It is important to note that the concept of "bitings" is subjective and can be interpreted differently depending on the context and the individuals involved.
