    I've been wondering this for a while, but I saw a post in the past on my Instagram of a graffiti artist spray painting his 'tag' on cling film. I was wondering if this is legal as I'd like to try it, I've been on two minds about this as it isnt harming anyone and will be removed after just don't want to try it only to end up in a cell. If anyone has any info please dont hesitate to let me know I have tried researching it but have found absolutely nothing. Thanks

    Ask the owner of where you plan on doing it. If they don't want it, don't do it. Not really up to you to decide if their property needs to have your mark added to it.

    If you have permission from the owner of the property then there's no problem doing what ever you want. However if you don't have permission then it would technically be illegal afaik. Also if all you want to do is your tag would you not just practice it on a few sheets on plywood as I don't see why anyone would only want your tag on their building. If your doing post modern type work I'm sure you'll find someone who will be willing to let you use their property if you can show other work.

    If you want to set up a temporary screen or something to paint on in a public place like a park etc. you'd still most likely need permission from the local council or whoever is responsible for the area. If you get paint on anything besides your own materials it'd be considered criminal damage and just the act of painting may also be seen as a public health hazard with the fumes and so on.
