Dark, cover-up-friendly tattoo design of a mummy wrap with pharaoh mask, scorpion, and pyramids; pattern.

AI-generated tattoo project illustration with a bold black-and-grey composition designed for a cover-up. The central figure is a mummy wrapped in tight, graphic bandages, its head framed by a stylized pharaoh mask that reads with high-contrast stripes and shaded contours. To the right, a menacing scorpion crouches, its curved tail weaving through the scene, while pyramids vanish into a windswept horizon and fluid ribbons swirl around the formation. A small skull floats near the upper left, and a block of hieroglyphs anchors the left edge, adding ancient script and geometric balance. The wrapping pattern across the mummy creates a repeating, almost tessellated motif that emphasizes negative space and bold silhouettes, producing a striking, coherent pattern across the composition. The design fuses Egyptian iconography with graphic linework, evoking themes of protection, mystery, and transformation. The black-and-grey palette enables smooth gradations and strong ink retention, making it an ideal candidate for a custom tattoo design intended to cover existing ink or scar tissue. As a suitable tattoo design, it offers meaningful tattoos ideas such as endurance, history, and the fusion of ancient wisdom with contemporary body art, and the included elements—mummy, pharaoh mask, scorpion, pyramids, skull, hieroglyphs, and bandage pattern—provide ample storytelling potential for a sleeve or back piece while remaining adaptable for smaller placements. The dense, high-contrast composition demonstrates how a cover-up can be achieved with cohesive subject matter and decisive shading, and the fact that this is an AI-generated tattoo project underlines its modern approach to ink design while inviting personal interpretation and refinement by a tattoo professional.
