Gang Tags are only located in the Los Santos area of the game. There are 100 in total and you will get 6 of them during the "Tagging Up Turf" mission in the beginning of the game. Your reward to tagging all 100 Gang Tags includes four weapons being available in the kitchen of your house in Ganton; AK-47, Tec-9, Sawn-Off Shotgun, and Molotov Cocktails. You will also earn a lot of respect for collecting all 100.
You first need a can of spray paint in order to do anything. You can always get a some on the first floor of your house at the beginning of the game. You need to lock-on with the spray paint, then spray over the rival gangs' tag; you'll get an on-screen confirmation when you get that tag to count towards your total. Make sure you don't run out of spray paint in the middle of a tag, since your game might glitch and you won't be able to get 100%.
The Gang Tags are done in sequential order, meaning it can be a little confusing starting in the middle of the list. The starting point is the long pier in Santa Maria Beach.
