A woman whose nickname was sort of "Tattoo" inspired a song or two. When she thanked Mick for singing a song on "Emotional Rescue" he added the "You" to tell her "Thank you too". If you look hard enough you can see her real name in the tattoos on both sides of the cover.

What was her name and... if you can ..please explain where on the cover of Micks face is her name?

It's always interesting to analyse meanings behind album titles and covers. I think it's best to look at the clues given both within the album and also clues contributed by aspects of other albums.

If we are looking at couples or 'twos' ('Tattwo You'; the two faces, one each on the front and back of the album cover), we could look at the first two letters of each song title on the album. If we re-arrange these twenty two letters, we can make the phrase 'wealthiness won't hobo all', meaning that it has the potential to make 'hobos' of some. Perhaps this is a message to highlight the dangers of wealth and fame, directed at the 'you' reading the album title, highlighting that it has the potential to ruin people. The fact that the faces on the album cover are disguised under tattoos could suggest trying to hide from or escape wealth and fame.

We can broaden our search and look at the first two letters of the title of each studio album released by the band in the 1980s. If we re-arrange these ten letters, we have the clue 'minutest ad'. This suggests there may be an advert for something (e.g. a name) hidden amongst the detail of the Tattoo You album cover, as chatoyancy suggests, or it could lead us in another direction to look for a small sign for something in another album cover.

As you can see, I don't have a job.

As you can see, I don't have an absolute answer for what the album title means, but think it's interesting to look for meaning. Maybe someone can make something of the above. Keep looking for that minute name, it may just be the clue you're looking for.

I'm simple minded I guess, I chalk up
'Tattoo' w/ handsome Keith face lined in Zebra stripes/ tattoo inked
as once again the Stones call it/ are the first/ ahead of the game/ invented cool
and hence 35 years later literally everybody and their grandma's
have a tattoo. Tattoo palours now so cliche

Although I don't think any of the Stones have tattoos themselves.

It was in the NME gossip page back then. It's why they painted the St. Mark's Bar pink for the video. She kept it up through Rough Justice and beyond. I think she did it by playing hard to get. Are you the Rocky/b] in the Beatles' song Rocky Raccoon?

Could have easily been titled 'Last Hurrah'.

A great album - they don't make 'em like they used to!

No. She met them years after they recorded Memory Motel. Hannah was Carly Simon. The Stones put lots of secret messages in their songs and artwork. I think it's what keeps them going. If someone keeps changing her phone number the only way they can reach her is in song. I think she disappears for that purpose, so they will write songs to her. She's elusive. Always slipping away. But she won't write a book and spill secrets like Carly did. She prefers to dictate the random post now and then on iorr.org. Good company here.

If I had seen that photo of Mick when I made the GIF, I would've done a cross-dissolve ...
