Face Tat (stylized in all caps) is the second full-length studio album by American recording artist Zach Hill. It was co-produced by Andy Morin and released on October 19, 2010.
The album cover shows 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.
The cover image originates from a scene in "The Sacto Smile" music video directed by Zach Hill and Sean Stout. The cover was designed by Andy Morin and Sonny Kay.
The woman appearing in the music video and on the album cover is Liz Liles.[1]
