No need to ask permission to use a tag! Just tag the post with a tag you think belongs there. If others disagree, they’ll vote the tag back off, and hopefully we reach some kind of reasonable consensus in almost all cases. That’s why we have our voting system.
(I don’t have a perfect mental list of every tag, so I tend to add tags until I can go a few seconds without thinking of another one that belongs, and then stop—trusting that others will add more relevant tags if they think of something I missed.)
