About us

The vision behind the ink

Our name represents more than a brand — it represents perspective. “First sight” is what everyone sees: lines, colour, placement. “Second sight” is the intuition to feel the emotion and memory behind an idea, and the foresight to know how a tattoo will age and move with your body.

The Second Sight philosophy

Founded in Johor Bahru, we bridge raw street energy with professional technical excellence — an inclusive, hygienic, creatively charged space where first-timers and collectors are respected equally.

Here are the most common questionswe receive at Second Sight Tattoo Parlour. If yours isn't listed, message us on WhatsApp anytime.

Booking & consultations

  • Do I need to make an appointment, or can I just walk in?

    While we do accept walk-ins if an artist is available, we highly recommend booking an appointment. This ensures you get the specific artist you want and that they have enough time to perfect your design.

  • How do I book a session?

    The fastest way is via WhatsApp at +60 17-330 1509. You can also message us on Instagram or Facebook. To speed up the process, please send us your design idea, size in cm, and preferred body placement.

    Open our Contact page for WhatsApp, phone, and all social links in one place.

  • Do you charge for consultations?

    No! Consultation and design discussions are free. We want to make sure you are comfortable and happy with the concept before we move forward.

  • Can I choose a specific artist?

    Absolutely. If you love Brenda's fine-line work or Ephraim's detailed realism, just let us know when booking. You can check our Instagram to see whose style fits your vision best.

Pricing & payments

  • How much does a tattoo cost?

    Pricing depends on size, complexity, detail, and placement. Our minimum charge starts at a competitive rate for small pieces. For an accurate quote, please send your design to our WhatsApp.

  • Do I need to pay a deposit?

    Yes, a small deposit is required to secure your booking slot and allow the artist to begin working on your custom design. This deposit is deducted from the final price of your tattoo.

  • What payment methods do you accept?

    We accept Cash, Bank Transfers, and most major E-wallets.

The tattoo process

  • Does it hurt?

    Tattooing involves needles, so there is some discomfort, but most clients describe it as a "scratchy" sensation or a light pinch. Our artists (especially Brenda and Ephraim) are known for their "gentle touch" to make the experience as painless as possible.

  • How long will my tattoo take?

    A small minimalist piece might take 30 minutes, while a detailed sleeve or realism piece can take several hours or multiple sessions. We will give you an estimated time frame during your consultation.

  • Can I bring a friend with me?

    You are welcome to bring one friend for support! However, we ask that they remain in the lounge area during the actual tattooing process to maintain a sterile and focused environment for the artist.

  • Is it safe? What are your hygiene standards?

    Your safety is our priority. We use 100% single-use disposable needles, medical-grade sterilization for all equipment, and premium international inks. Our studio is cleaned and sanitized after every single client.

Design & customization

  • Can I bring my own design?

    Yes! Whether it's a sketch, a photo, or a Pinterest reference, bring it in. Our artists will work with you to adapt it so it looks best on your skin.

  • Do you do cover-ups?

    Yes, we specialize in cover-ups and reworks. We recommend a face-to-face consultation so our artists can see the old tattoo and determine the best way to mask it with a new design.

  • I'm not sure where to put my tattoo. Can you help?

    Definitely. Placement is key to how a tattoo ages and moves. Our artists will provide professional advice on where your design will look most aesthetically pleasing based on your body's anatomy.

Aftercare & healing

  • How do I take care of my new tattoo?

    We will provide you with a detailed aftercare sheet. Generally, you'll need to keep it clean, avoid swimming/soaking for 2 weeks, and apply a specialized tattoo balm as directed.

  • How long does a tattoo take to heal?

    The surface usually heals in 2–3 weeks, but it takes about 1–2 months for the deeper layers of skin to fully recover.

  • Can I go to the gym after getting a tattoo?

    We recommend waiting at least 48 hours before heavy exercise, especially if the tattoo is in an area that stretches or sweats excessively.

General questions

  • Do you offer piercings as well?

    Yes! We offer professional body piercings, including ear and navel piercings, using sterile techniques and high-quality jewelry.

  • What should I wear to my appointment?

    Wear comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the area being tattooed. Also, avoid wearing white if the tattoo is in an area where ink might splash!

  • Is there an age limit?

    You must be at least 18 years old to get a tattoo. If you are younger, parental consent and a physical presence of a guardian are required.
