I got my flat piercing done in Spec Body Art and the entire experience was so smooth and pleasant. The team handling the front of house was so nice and friendly. They explained the piercing types and procedure really well!

Uncle Ronny did my piercing and I will definitely be back for more! He was so nice and accommodating to my questions and different placements. The piercing was fast and painless! He took his time to make sure I was comfortable with the placement of the piercing and talked me through the whole way.

I’ll be honest—I was hesitant to go to a piercing shop at first. I had this fear that I wouldn’t be accommodated properly or that the experience would feel rushed or intimidating. But this shop completely changed my perspective.

From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and at ease. Everyone working here is incredibly nice, approachable, and professional. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explained the process clearly, and made sure everything was done based on my needs and preferences. The level of care and attention they gave me went above and beyond what I expected.

I recently got a flat piercing at Spec Body Art and had a good experience. My piercer, Ronny, was very friendly and professional, and the studio seemed clean and hygienic.

Note for first-timers: I wasn’t told in advance that I’d need to lie down for the piercing, so you might want to keep that in mind when choosing your outfit.

Total bill: RM140. Overall, a smooth and professional experience

Got my helix pierced here and had such a great experience! Uncle Ronny talked me through the whole process, was super professional and informative, and even gave me helpful advice for my other piercings that are still healing. The piercing itself was painless, and I felt very well taken care of throughout. Overall, an excellent experience, I’d definitely recommend!

I decided to get my helix and conch done whilst in Malaysia and was so glad I chose this place. The staff was professional and attentive, from me choosing my jewellery, aftercare instructions, down to the implantations. Roni was great in making me feel relaxed and his technique was great. They sterilised each piece of jewellery and roni even helped me choose the right size earring for my previous lobe piercing (unfortunately they only had one piece left). Also thanks to the sweet lady who assisted roni and me during the procedure, sorry I forgot your name. A wonderful team.

the team at spec body arts are really nice & welcoming. was quite nervous going in, even brought a friend to be my moral support but she couldn’t accompany me anyway to get the procedure done. but it didn’t matter anyway bcs the whole team was super friendly that i didn’t need to be held (lol)

did my industrial piercing with uncle ron. such a gentle giant rockstar. he talked me through the procedure, made sure i was okay with the placement bfre proceeding. tools & instruments used were new and sterilised. even gave me a cadbury after we were done! pain was 3/10. my ear was only red on the day of, was okay by next day. the other staffs (i’m sorry i forgot ur names ) explained thoroughly how to care for my piercing and answered any questions i had.

thank you Spec Body Art Team, yall were superb! i will not go anywhere else for my piercings now

I had an amazing experience getting my piercings done with Uncle Ronny, Eve, and Denise. Their hospitality was top-notch, making me feel comfortable throughout the process. The studio was impeccably clean and hygienic, which gave me full confidence in Ronny’s work. They were also very educational, explaining everything in detail and ensuring I understood the aftercare.

Plus, the premium jewelry selection was stunning!

I got a new conch piercing and reinstated my old tragus and helix—everything was done with precision and care. Highly recommend!

My experience at Tattoo Family was honestly the best first tattoo experience I could have asked for. It wasn’t just about getting inked—it was about meeting amazing people and connecting with them. Everyone there was so welcoming, and the conversations made it even more memorable. Their art is incredible, the way they sketch and bring ideas to life is just next level.

I’m beyond happy with my tattoo. The process was comfortable, it didn’t hurt, and the artist was so careful and patient throughout. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. This place has already become special to me and my boyfriend—we’ve decided that every time we’re in Malaysia, this is where we’ll be coming back to get tattooed.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for not just a tattoo, but a truly wonderful experience.

I had an amazing experience at Tattoo Family Kuala Lumpur. I got my tattoo done by Kai, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. His work is absolutely stunning, fast, precise and so professional. The whole process felt comfortable and hygienic, and the aftercare advice was spot on.
The price and quality are both excellent, and the studio has such a friendly, welcoming vibe. I’d highly recommend Tattoo Family Kuala Lumpur (and Kai!) to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality ink in Kuala Lumpur.

This place is a whole vibe! Booking was super easy — I had a last-minute idea to finally get a tattoo I’ve been wanting for months. Normally I wouldn’t trust a place while abroad, but the reviews gave me confidence, and I’m so glad I went for it.

Jovi is the man! He really knows what he’s doing. He’s skilled, creative, and easy to bounce ideas off, making you feel safe and in good hands the entire time. The atmosphere is chilled, relaxed, and full of good vibes.

The tattoo came out exactly how I wanted, and the studio itself is spotless, clean, and well maintained. 100% I’d come back here for another tattoo the next time I’m in Malaysia — and I’d choose Jovi again without question.

Just got my first tattoo here and had an amazing experience!
I came in with some design ideas I found online, and the artist helped me turn those rough concepts into something really special. We spent time figuring out the best spot for it.
The cleanliness was top-notch, which put my nerves at ease as a total newbie. Everything felt smooth and well-organized from start to finish. The artist clearly knows what he’s doing and made sure I was comfortable throughout the process.
I’m thrilled with how it turned out! Already planning my next piece and will definitely be back here. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, I highly recommend this place!

友人におすすめされて初めてのタトゥーをこちらのお店で入れていただきました！
マイクロタトゥーで場所も耳なので維持できるか不安でしたが1週間経っても変わらずで良かったです
英語が苦手ですがスタッフさんも優しく、手際もよくいい経験になりました！
可愛いタトゥーをありがとうございました♡

From the get go Tattoo Family were very accommodating. The reply to the query form was very fast and friendly. We attended our consultation with very vague ideas of what we wanted and they whipped up some great designs. On tattoo day they were on time and did a great job, my two tattoos were very different styles and Kaiwe applied them perfectly. Highly recommend for tattoos in KL.

I got a tattoo, as did my brother and his partner, from here on the same day. They were meticulous in the designing and set up, trying multiple stencils till we were happy and even making me a diy cotton pad bra because my tattoo required me to be topless.

And the actual tattooing was so professional and the work was beautiful on all of us. My tattoo was done by Kai so special shout-out to him, while another artist did theirs. His work was also really nice and he was having fun with my brother while doing the tattoo which was sweet.

I’m getting all my tattoos at the Tattoo Family from now on. 10/10 no notes <3

Got my first tattoo here and the overall experience was amazing! Desmond took the time to bring my vision to life and even suggested a placement that turned out better than what I originally had in mind. The studio was clean and comfortable, and the whole process felt smooth and reassuring. I really appreciate the attention to detail, absolutely love how the tattoo turned out!

I highly recommend Kydd for anyone looking for a truly amazing tattoo artist. I recently got a realistic dragon on my upper arm, and it turned out better than I could have imagined. Throughout the process, he was so professional—patient, polite, and attentive to every detail. He clearly has deep knowledge and a masterful touch with his artwork. He was able to work for long hours with a high level of focus, and it was a surprisingly less painful experience. I’m already looking forward to my next session to complete my dragon and I am planning to get more tattoos with him in the future. It was worth every penny for such a stunning, high-quality artwork.

I did not just obtain a tattoo, but I made 2 wonderful friends: Kyidd and Ann. This couple is so friendly and Kyidd’s skill is top-notch! Love it! The professionalism is well respected! Keep up the great work! Ill definitely come for my 2nd one!

Got my first tattoo here and it couldn’t have been a better experience. My girlfriend and I were looking for artists who really take the time to understand your ideas and give honest, thoughtful advice—and that’s exactly what we found at Replaying Ink, thanks to KYDD.

The studio itself is super cool, filled with art in every corner and great music playing in the background. But what really stood out was how clean and professional everything was—no shoes allowed inside and all the equipment was fully sterile.

The whole session took about 4 hours, and KYDD was super patient the entire time, always checking if I needed a break. What impressed me most is how much he clearly cares about his work—he kept making little adjustments until everything was just right, never rushing anything.

I’m pretty sure this won’t be my last tattoo—and when the time comes for the next one, I’ll definitely come back to this studio, even if I have to fly in from the other side of the world. 100% recommended.

As a first time getting a tattoo, the experience here is definitely very welcoming and Desmond is very friendly , provided advices for a first timer. 100% will comeback next time!!!

i had such a wonderful experience at this studio! not only were the staff were incredibly friendly but the atmosphere itself was so chill and inviting. my tattoo artist, kevin, was amazing as he was skilled, patient, and highly attentive. he really took his time to fully understand the artistic style i had in mind and put so much care into perfecting my designs and the end results turned out to be great! the entire process from consultation to getting the final finished tattoos done was smooth and comfortable. i’m beyond satisfied with the outcome and will definitely be coming back for more in the future! ☺️

I got my first tattoo here and it couldn’t have been a better experience! The staff is lovely and makes you feel comfortable, they work on the stencil until it’s perfect to your liking. I couldn’t be happier!

Once again, Sebastian nailed my 3rd tattoo with perfection. He listens, he cares and he provides constructive improvement on the customization of my tattoo. Thanks a lot!

已经是第二次来纹身了，价格很合理，设计和过程都很细心负责，效果也超满意。很值得推荐！

Visiting from out of town and decided to get a quick ink session in. Dealt with owner Sebastian who made the process feel comfortable, safe and trusting. He checked and rechecked first of all the placement of my Tatt. Then went over safety precautions. Took photos before the inking started. Then not only did we go over after care but he sent me whatsapp directions so I cannot even get it wrong. Also made sure to let me know what foods and chemicals to avoid, when to take off second skin, and what to expect while it is on. Such a great experience definitely recommend his shop and him!

“I found this shop online for the first time. I provided a design to the tattoo artist, and he made some modifications based on his own ideas, making it slightly different from the original. Of course, he only proceeded after confirming with me that it was okay. The tattoo artist’s skills are excellent. My tattoo is colored, and the shading process was done with great technique, resulting in a seamless blend of colors. Even the small details were well taken care of. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, I recommend giving it a try.

Another highlight: the aftercare instructions are clearly explained, ensuring that the tattoo design remains intact during the healing process.”

Thank you for the amazing tattoo, our tattoo artist did a really great job. We are so happy to bring back such an amazing work back to our country. We definitely recommend him if you want something that beautiful and that well done. Once again thank you.

这里是个不错的纹身地点，建议来！纹到很好看，纹身师也很棒，很细心！

I had an incredible experience at 3R Ink Tattoo Studio! Sunny was my artist, and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, the studio felt clean, welcoming, and professional. Sunny took the time to listen to my ideas, offered great suggestions, and made sure every detail was perfect before starting.

His skill and attention to detail are seriously impressive—my tattoo turned out even better than I imagined! The lines are clean, the shading is beautiful, and you can tell he really cares about his craft. On top of that, Sunny made the whole session comfortable and fun, checking in regularly to make sure I was doing okay.

If you’re looking for a talented artist who truly takes pride in their work, I can’t recommend Sunny and 3R Ink Tattoo Studio enough. I’ll definitely be back for my next piece!

Today I went to this ink zone, must tell you guys I love his hospitality and hard work on tattoo.. They work really hard and well good I suggest everyone who looking for ink your body just go there without any hesitation they all are very friendly.. I enjoyed my tattoo guys trust me worth it

Got my tattoo done here and I absolutely love it! The artist was super friendly, made me feel comfortable, and the design came out even better than I imagined. Thank you so much for the amazing work❤️

Viajé desde España al sudeste asiático y quería un recuerdo en forma de tatuaje de algún artista local, y no pude quedar más contento con la profesionalidad de Sunny y con la dedicación y cariño con el que nos trató Jodha randhawa haciéndonos sentir en casa a 14.000 km , llevo tatuajes hace más de 20 años y no tienen nada que envidiar a tatuadores europeos. Muchas gracias por mi máscara Oni, que me acompañara toda mi vida.

I was there for a small tattoo. Excellent contact beforehand and a great appointment scheduling. In the studio, you’re warmly welcomed, well advised, and get a beautifully done tattoo, including the highest level of cleanliness. I definitely recommend it.

I just did my Leo zodiac tattoo here and honestly, I’m so happy with the whole experience. From the very beginning, Kelvin knew exactly what I wanted and guided me through the design patiently. He made sure every detail was perfect, and the final result turned out even better than I imagined.

Not only is he super talented, but he also made me feel really comfortable and at ease throughout the session. His passion for his work really shows in the way he pays attention to detail and makes sure the tattoo comes out beautifully! Will definitely come back for my next tattoo. thank you kelvin

Assolutamente consigliato!
Ho contattato lo studio via instagram e si sono dimostrati fin da subito disponibili e rapidi nel rispondere ai messaggi.
Lo studio è pulito, ordinato e accogliente. Kelvin è gentile, competente e paziente: insieme abbiamo studiato il disegno facendo varie modifiche, fino ad ottenere il tatuaggio che avevo in mente. Sono molto soddisfatta del risultato!
Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Kelvin’s skills was my best ink experience by far. He listened to what I wanted and made sure I was happy with the tattoo placement. And it was far less painful than I’d imagined (not my first ink).

The studio was spacious, sparkling clean, and had good vibes music playing. Easy to find.
I’d definitely come back to this studio. Seriously recommended!!

I’ve been getting tattooed by Kelvin for many years, and every experience has been nothing short of amazing. His skills are consistently top-notch, and he always pays great attention to detail. He really listens and understands what I want, and I always feel comfortable and taken care of. From my first tattoo to now, he’s the only artist I trust with my skin. Highly recommend Kelvin if you’re looking for a professional and passionate tattoo artist!

Kelvin is a truly attentive and talented tattoo artist. He takes the time to listen carefully to your ideas and requests, and makes sure everything is just right before starting. The studio is very clean and has a great atmosphere — you feel comfortable and welcomed right away. I 100% recommend him if you’re looking for quality work and a great experience.

Geweldige ervaring gehad bij deze tattoo studio. De artist @inkbykelv heeft met veel souplesse en vakkundigheid geweldig werk geleverd bij het maken/ontwerpen van mijn nieuwe tattoo.

De studio is schoon, netjes en er wordt professioneel gewerkt volgens alle hygiene protocollen.

Een ware aanrader!

It was my first time getting a tattoo and I’m so glad I chose Kelvin. He was really patient and meticulous throughout the whole process. He made sure I felt comfortable and explained everything clearly. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a professional and friendly tattoo artist!

During our trip to Malaysia, my husband wanted to complete his sleeve tattoo. We saw Colonel’s work online and loved how meticulously detailed he was. He was able fit us in on the same day we were flying back to Canada. His attention to detail and ability to incorporate everything my husband wanted was amazing. Would definently recommend Colonel to anyone in the KL area or visiting KL, like us!

Colonel is a magician who knows what is most suited for the client. He has been very patient and assuring. Highly recommended

My first tattoo experience was amazing. The artist made sure everything was smooth & steady. One of a kind experience & definitely looking forward to have more tattoos with him.

Guy does a great job drafting up the tattoo and nice work shop. Everything is clean and professional. Really enjoyed working with him

A trip from sg to get a tattoo was worth it..Awesome and professional artist. Great and clean ambience..double thumbs up .highly recommended. Come from wherever to get one.. Worth every bit ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My friend TinyThina went for his second tattoo in 2-days. Best artist who pays close attention to details

I had the best experience getting my tattoo. The place was very clean and hygienic, and I felt comfortable throughout. He is very calm, professional, and designed the tattoo beautifully. I’m extremely satisfied with the result and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality work. I will continue the second session very soon.

Got to admit 3 things that surprised me about this parlor:
1. Price. By far the most affordable price guaranteed depending on your choice of tattoos
2. Quality of the artist. Simply phenomenal. Shout out to my artist Wan.
3. Hospitality shown by all the artists at the shop. Their customer service is by far the best. Warmth, cheerful and always smiling.

If you are considering to get inked this shop in KL is the place to be.

The best place to get your tattoos done! I came in with so much fear for my very first tattoo, but the team made me feel super comfortable — and here I am again for my second and third tattoos .

Especially with Gaggi Bro ✌️ He’s so kind, professional, and really handles everything with care. The work is clean, detailed, and exactly how I imagined it.

Highly recommend this place if you want an amazing tattoo experience with people who truly care about their clients. Can’t wait to come back for more!

3 pieces done by this shop now. Chest, half sleeve on my forearm and a thigh piece. Best price around, unbelievable talent from all of the artists that have worked on me and the hospitality and warmth from the staff make you want to go back. I wouldn’t want any other studio designing and completing my tattoos these guys are 10/10. Shoutout to Dalvir and Wan for the ink, love the results.

G-Artist was simply great! I had a great experience with him and with the whole team of this tattoo studio. He’s been very gentle and patient with my request and did a wonderful job!
Thank you again my friend!

Thank you for this incredible work!

From the very first moment, I felt completely at ease with him. He takes his time, listens intently, and contributes creative ideas without ever losing sight of my original vision. The design we co-developed was executed with outstanding precision and a remarkable eye for detail.

On a personal level, my artist simply shines—super friendly, patient, and highly professional. The atmosphere in the studio was relaxing and pleasant, which made the entire experience genuinely enjoyable. It was 8 hours of intense focus during the tatooing process. Hard work for both, cause my flight was on the next day.

I’m continuously receiving compliments on the tattoo and feel truly proud every time I look at it.

If you’re in search of a true artist with heart, Dalvir is absolutely the right person to go to!

100% recommendation.

I live at the other end of the world, but I will definitely return. I always keep my word.

Meeting Gaggi in Kuala Lumpur was the highlight of my trip. He truly has a gift for tattooing and went beyond my expectations with a perfect mix of fine line and shading. Totally recommend him!

Gotten my tattoo with tattoo artist CK, great service and advice given for the tattoo that I planned. Good advises on how the tattoo should be placed and good insights on the after care. Overall, good tattoo services and the customer ethics is fantastic.

I was planning to get a portrait tattoo based on face pics, but I was not sure how well a tattoo artist could ‘reproduce’ faces onto my skin.. I scrolled through the portraits inked by artists in KL on Insta and at Blackfish’s page, I found just the right artist !

The session took place at Nine Hearts, which has a cozy and exotic ambience, full of the artists’ own taste: cool pop culture memorabilia and good music to accompany a tattoo session ☺️

The result? Loved it! I was amazed at the level of detail! Fish was so good at capturing subtle changes in tone on my tattoo. From some fine lines, it began to take shape and with midtones, he transformed it to look like 3D. He really strives for excellence. Amazingggg!! Thank you again, Fish ☺️

got my tatt done by Fish. amazing work & fine details from start to end. he was patient & meticulous every step of the way. absolutely love it!

just done 3 amazing detailed tatts by Fish!!! I’m completely blown away by how amazing it turned out!!! ❤️‍ Super skillful and attentive to details, I’m over the moon with the results ❤️‍ will defo come back to Fish for more tatts!!!

also the studio is such a vibe ❤️ it’s so cozy and chill. i really loved the decorations around the place it’s so cool!!!

overall highly highly recommend anyone to get tatts from Fish and Nine Hearts!

This is a really cool tattoo shop! So many collectors items to look at whilst you wait and get tattooed! I got a small tattoo with Ivan as a walk in on our last day in KL. He was super polite, friendly and helpful. I am very happy with my new tattoo and the work done. I would recommend this place to anyone and would for sure come back, thank you 🙂

Amazing Tattoo Experience with Fish!

Just got my tattoo done by Fish, and I couldn’t be happier! He’s incredibly patient, even when the session went overtime, and his friendly, down-to-earth nature made the whole experience so comfortable. His skills are top-notch—you don’t need to worry at all about the outcome because he will deliver something beyond expectations.

What I really appreciate is that Fish doesn’t overpromise or try to oversell how great your tattoo will look. Instead, he lets his work speak for itself, and trust me, the final result will blow you away! Super easy to communicate with, very chill, and genuinely passionate about what he does.

The studio itself was cozy and relaxing, making the entire process even better. And what sets Fish apart is his dedication—he doesn’t mind going the extra mile to perfect every detail. He knows exactly what he’s doing, and you can fully trust him with your ink.

If you’re looking for a skillful, detailed, and reliable tattoo artist, look no further. Just sit back, relax, and let Fish work his magic!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended!

Just got a amazing tattoo from Fish at the Nine Heats Tattoo. He is very talented, skillful, cordial, and good attention to details, supper happy about this new and very cool tattoo addition! Thanks!

Highly recommended for any kind of style.
Very professional and friendly staff, Ken is the man, very keen and precise.
Prices competitive and the studio is a gallery.
Thanks guys, has been a pleasure

The whole crew were so welcoming and friendly. I walked in was shown their incredible selection of flash and walked out with a rad little ghost skater. Han did fantastic work!! Super happy – couldn’t recommend this place more highly.

I went there day ago the guy who did my tattoo are very friendly and nice I got burn mark and he considered Sakura flowers and it cover up very nicely I am so happy and end up all perfect and gain my confidence on my chest . Very nice art work I don’t do tattoos things but I really love the Sakura . Take pill to stop infection and the art will end up beautiful and sexy . Good luck

This is my second visit and the tattoos are still so beautiful and detailed. If you want to get a tattoo, this shop is definitely a good choice！！

今まで4箇所このスタジオで入れた。
マレーシアのタトゥースタジオの中でもトップクラスのクオリティだと思う。
予約段階で目安価格を伝えてくれるしかなり良心的。
今までAricとMiiaoに担当してもらったが、Aricは躍動感のあるタトゥーが得意で、Miiaoは女性らしい繊細なラインの表現が得意だと感じる。
雰囲気もアットホームで、店内では日本語ラップがかかってる。
清潔感も全く問題なし。
マレーシアでタトゥーを入れたい人には間違いなくおすすめできる場所！
自分はマレーシアならここ以外で入れることは考えられないぐらい信頼してます。

The store is located in a small mall and isn’t difficult to find. Han Zhi, my tattoo artist, was so kind to open the store an hour earlier than normal operating hours for my appointment.

It was my first tattoo and he was receptive to this information. Han Zhi provided a variety of options for the sizing of my tattoo, and worked quietly and meticulously on it to my liking. Would recommend.

With other artists they usually have drawn everything on a paper then they will “print” it on first before actually tattooing it.

My first experience with free art drawn on me.

Artist Hanzi

Awesome art work. Great communication on what he’s gonna do and that’s what he actually did. The effects of my tattoo is awesome one of my favorite tattoo.

Old tattoo cover up.

Hygiene wise is a definite 5 star. Excellent brand new needle. Excellent environment not too dark clean Japanese art feel. Friendly staff. One of my favorite tattoo parlor. Highly recommended. Your tattoo will be in great hands.

This is my 4th piece of tattoo with them, Hanzhi is my go to artist. He is extremely detailed with his design, highly insightful and creative in his design inspiration.
It is amazing work done.
He is also particularly detailed with his post care advices.
To sum it up, he cares.
