A Kiwi artist is behind the breast tattoo which has set social media on fire.
Hamilton's Makkala Rose is the tattoo artist who created the intricate ink on the right breast of young Sydney cancer survivor Alison Habbal.
Habbal, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 36, had to have her nipple removed as part of a lumpectomy to cut her cancer out.
But rather than have plastic surgeons create her a new nipple, Habal instead chose to cover up scarring left by surgery with a large, floral tattoo.
An exhaustive search for the right artist led Habbal to Rose, 24, whose painstaking work has gone viral on social media.
