I was about to say this is the tamest work of theirs I’ve ever seen, but then I realized the frame around it appears to be legs and the oval in the middle at the top is where the eggs are coming from, so its just slightly less obviously sexualized, rather than tame. Also distinctly lacking in penises.

Giger used to be more morbid earlier in his career (pre-Necronomicon). His Atomic Children series is straight up nightmare fuel and he also had a long-running series of dreamscape drawings post-Alien (circa when he worked on Poltergeist).

It's hit me now that his art style of blending organic sexual forms into structures; suggestive breathing apparatus, cabling for strange futuristic machines that resemble phalluses, etc. triggers my AI slop reaction. The double rib cage of the prone figure framing the epitaph, the egg blending into stomach, all the extra limbs, it's the sort of uncanny similarity blending AI generates all the time.
