The usual way that you do that is to define columns on the ActiveRecord model that has the image attached to it, and then when you use the image_tag helper, you can access those and use them.

image_tag @your_object.file.thumb('200x200#').url, alt: @your_object.alt, title: @your_object.title

If you haven't done so already, please do yourself a favor and invest a few days in working all the way through railstutorial.org. It's free to read and use on line, and it is the best way to learn the basics (and more importantly, the idioms) of Rails. It is an investment that will pay off for years to come.
