Yes, you can include an image in an ID3v2 tag.  Let's start with the 
pictorial explaination (no pun intended)

http://www.id3.org/easy.html

Note that ID3v1 tags do not support image encapsulation.

If you are looking to write software to manipulate the ID3v2 tag in an 
audio file, then look at

http://www.id3.org/id3v2.4.0-frames.txt

section 4.14 for the APIC - Attached Picture - frame specification

If you're just looking for a program to manipulate the ID3v2 headers, 
there are quite a few to choose from at 
http://www.id3.org/implement.html  Unfortunately the list on this page 
is woefully out of date.
