Face Tat
A photograph of an angry woman with short black hair wearing a flannel shirt and overalls. She is holding a compressed air can which is spewing flames that she is glaring at. She is stood in front of a row of trees in daytime. There is a narrow plain white border around the image where the name of the album is handwritten in the top-right corner.
