If she's studying that VF shoot for inspiration, I could see the cover being her covering her face somehow. It's artistic without being pretentious, and could be a kind of "take that" to the people who were disappointed that BTW's cover wasn't a glamor shot of her face like her first two albums.
In fact, her covering her eyes/face with her forearm and displaying the tattoo as the title would be pretty awesome. But knowing Gaga, we can never predict these things. I just know I'm going to be slayed much harder by this era than BTW.
She should keep one eye showing to renew that Illuminati membership, though.
