For more complex CSS things (like background images) I would tend to put
the CSS into a pub/css/local.css file
(or one named after the particular page)

For example, on my page http://www.katspace.org/Fiction/Index
I got a background image to replace the title by making a
Fiction.Index.css page, with the following content:

#wikititle h1.pagetitle {
        visibility: hidden;
}
#wikititle div.box {
        width: 572px;
        height: 141px;
        display: block;
        background: transparent url(/images/workstorm1.jpg) no-repeat center center;
}
