1972- 3 Female writers

Michelle 62, Barbara 62 and Eva 62 were 3 Female graffiti writers that were acknowledged the year of 1972, usually with their 3 tags side by side. All from the same block 62 they would tag the trains and areas where they lived on journeys home together.

A number of writers credit “BARBARA 62” and “EVA 62” as being the first to carry out the simple act of outlining their names.  By 1972 some writers were adding dots, stars and candy cane spirals that was made famous by “HONDO 1”. “SUPER KOOL 223” helped writers thicken their names by introducing the "fat cap" - an industrial spray nozzle that widened the arc of the paint.
