I'm sure not everyone writes on their grip but when you do, what do you guys use to draw on your griptape? And what do you guys write/draw on it?

I just use Sharpie Paint Pens that I usually pick up on sale for 2/$5 at Michael's. I usually just write some lyrics I'm stoked on on the toe-side of board. Current set up just has "Shine on you crazy diamond."

its sick when one word or phrase is spray painted across the whole board.
also ive always loved griptape with graphics when skating tranny.
it just gives it some more apeall

Back in the day, people used paint pens. I don't know if that's a brand name or a type, but if you Google it you'll figure it out.

Ah, the good ole days.

"Grip It and Rip It"

MostlyLurkin' · « **Reply #6 on:** September 28, 2011, 05:46:35 AM »

I usually write "kill yo self", "get buck", "luh dat shit" or some other shake junt quote on it.

..or not! I need my griptape all black, or else my mind gets all fucked up

I can't stand anything but straight black grip tape. It even pisses me off if it gets ripped on the edges or gets too dirty. It's this stupid problem that's all in my mind that only skating can bring out. Like having to ollie before a crack to get on a ledge.

Yeah, I just use sharpie paint pens. My last board had "swag" and my current has "Thank you based god" because both times I was listening to a shitload of lil B. I like writing on my grip, but only on the heel side, towards the tail, going up the side of the board.

Right now I have just a plain black grip, but usally I always spray something random.. Oh that Muska influence..

I have been writing something on my grip with a metallic gel pen since about 2004.
I just put the initials of something I'm stoked on between the front bolts.

I had "Life Sucks" on my previous board

Paint pens or spray paint.

I don't write/draw on my grip anymore, always go straight black, but when I did in the past I used a White Out brush. It takes longer but you get can get good detail.

Silver sharpie. I always wait a while till the grip/deck gets worn down a bit, though.. not really sure why

...yet I used the google to make sure it was "du" and not "de". god dammit.

moral of the story: don't draw on your grip, it leads to nothing but trouble

Pizza Life on my last deck

pizzafliptofakie · « **Reply #19 on:** September 28, 2011, 10:24:07 PM »

My last board had "R.I.P. Ziggy" on it. (My Grandfather's nickname.)

Just got a new deck though. Blank as of now.

i feel like a faggot whenever i write something on my griptape. i figure you're only allowed to do that if you're on baker/deathwish

aWizard · « **Reply #21 on:** September 28, 2011, 11:56:53 PM »

I have "spook street" written on my grip with a white paint pen/white out marker

I skate with a bandana in my pocket...
And my name's Jamaal...
