Hidden Hotel Art; The Secret World of 'Wall Tattoos'

To start off a series on unknown subcultures, we give you the underground world of Secret Wall Tattoos.

All those paintings in your hotel may be hiding mementos of past dwellers. Some rogue artists are leaving their calling cards behind pictures frames, headboards, toilets and beds. Anything that can be moved, these artists are painting. 

The American band, Queens of the Stone Age, have a underground following that seem to have popularized the concept of secret wall tattoos. The fad gained steam online by a small website called, SecretWallTattoos.com.

Next time you’re in a hotel, take a look around for hidden treasures. 


Would you consider this vandalism or art? At least these mementoes of the past are colorful and don’t require a black light.
