Most hotel guestroom wall treatments are fastened to the wall by an intricate little mechanism that makes it really difficult to remove. Naturally the intent is to ensure that pictures and other expensive design elements stay behind when the guest checks out.
Guestroom pictures may be tough to remove, but certainly not impossible with the right tool. Some mischievous hotel guests, as the video below reveals, are not interested in stealing pictures at all. These enterprising rogue artists simply want to remove them for a little while, then replace them again. Right after leaving a little-known secret souvenir behind.
Mainstream Art? Not quite. At least not yet.
Perhaps the next time you are in a hotel room you should wiggle the pictures a little and see what comes loose. You might just discover a secret wall tattoo!
