On this album cover he looks intimidating, from the way his head is tilted and his eyes are glaring at the camera, and therefore powerful and perhaps an important person. The cigar he's smoking implies he's rich, and because tattoos on knuckles originated from gang culture there's acpects of this about him. The pattern bordering the cover is the same pattern as that on bandaners which youth's often where accross the bottom half of their face to hide their identity; so there's a reference to crime in this photo.
