graffitied

Graffitied is the past participle of the verb graffiti, meaning to decorate or mark with graffiti. Graffiti itself refers to writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place. The term can be applied to surfaces that have been marked with paint, markers, spray paint, or even by carving. Objects that have been graffitied can range from building exteriors and public transport to street furniture and natural formations. The act of graffitied is often associated with vandalism, though it can also be considered a form of artistic expression. The appearance of a graffitied surface is typically characterized by colorful imagery, lettering, or abstract designs, often applied rapidly and without permission. The condition of being graffitied can impact the aesthetic appeal and perceived value of a property, leading to efforts for removal or cleanup.
