Ever since Godsmack debuted their self-titled album ‘Godsmack’ featuring a cover model with piercings, drag queen eyebrows and a tattoo, I have been asked non stop if this girl was in fact myself. No, I am NOT the cover model for the Godsmack album.
I’ve had people friend me thinking I am “the Godsmack girl”. They leave these posts proclaiming their undying love all the while my real time friends are like what is going on? It was celebrity lookalike week on Facebook. Pretty simple or so I thought. You change your avatar to a celebrity you’ve been told you look like. I jokingly of course chose…”The Godsmack Girl”. The next thing I know I’m getting calls and messages about the photo. Turns out a particular person saw the photo, failed to read the caption and spread the word. The confusion got so bad that if you googled “Godsmack Girl” my photo below would be the 1st to pop up in the search results.
The photo that started it all:
Who they think I am:
I’ve been looking for this elusive woman for years returning nothing in my searches until tonight!! I found the Godsmack Cover Model!!! Her name is Toni Tiller. She has 3 scars that can be seen in the photo above from where the lip piercings were and her tattoo matches up perfect!! She does photography and there’s a good interview with her here: One Round Jack
And her website which hasn’t been updated since 2005:

Ahaha I did that tattoo on Toni like a 100 years ago when I first started tattooing. I think my friend Dale shot the photo. The tattoo wasnβt even fully healed when the picture was taken. You can sort of tell itβs a little crusty.
