Your tattoos can now be preserved after your death. And why not?

I suppose it is a form of art, albeit painfully applied art, so I further suppose that preserving the more notable examples might have some merit - some of them are quite stunning, albeit some might feel a 'yuk' reaction if they think too much about the skinning element.
