Tragic micro-mapper these days.

It started with streets, first just tracing, then tagging. Then I fell in with some harder core mappers. They asked me to their parties where I became involved in ever harder stuff … post boxes, bus stops, surface grading. Close family noticed time going missing. I would sneak off with my apparatus when we visited new places.

I moved countries to avoid the whole scene. Now a fully blown tag fiddler in maintenance mode, keeping my shame to myself and not bothering anyone else.
