That reminds of a very interesting short story by HH Munro. http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Background
The Background tells the story of Henry Duplis, who carries the last great masterpiece of a renown tattoo artist on his back. He is unable to pay the artist's widow and loses ownership of the tattoo, which is promptly donated to the city!
