This photo brings up many questions in my mind. Firstly, what is ‘Ghost UTI’? UTI, some kind of university? Could Ghost UTI be school spirit? If so, was it held hostage behind the barbed wire? Did it stop on its way out to tag the fence with its boast? Or was it a compatriot, bragging about his(her) accomplishment?
So many questions. Any others out there?

Urinary tract infection. But where the ghost comes in…when you have one it’s all too real. (K)
I thought the same thing. I’m intrigued anyone would want to use it as a subject for graffiti.
Ghost of UTIs past? Come to think of it, it has to be urinary tract infection. I can’t imagine a gang with that tag.
Thanks, Claudia.

Now that you mention…
UTI is the name of a los Angeles graffiti group started in the late eighties. Noticable founding members were flash, skill, panic and Ghost. The artist knows as ghost passed in 2018 leaving a two sons who use the names Grose and Gone. Photo above is a memorial from a son to his father.
Thank you for that, J.
