Cobra's Lethal Embrace

Create a hyper-realistic tattoo design for the back of the calf, featuring a venomous cobra coiled tightly around an ornate dagger. The snake's scales should be meticulously detailed, with a mix of earthy browns and subtle gold highlights. The dagger's blade is damascus steel, with intricate wave patterns visible. Its handle is adorned with antique brass filigree and small rubies. The snake's head is poised to strike, tongue flicking out, with piercing yellow eyes. The composition spirals from just above the ankle to mid-calf, roughly 8 inches tall. Incorporate wispy tendrils of smoke or mist around the edges for depth. The overall style should be photorealistic with a touch of dark fantasy. Use a color palette of deep browns, muted golds, steel grays, and hints of blood red. Emphasize the interplay of light and shadow on the snake's scales and the dagger's metallic surface. The design should evoke a sense of danger, power, and ancient mysticism.
