Do you want to say it or write it down? If you want to say it I don't think it is commonly used in everyday conversation:P I got two foreigner friends of mine who once said马马虎虎to me and at that time although I understood them but it was a little bit weird to me XD Cuz seldom do I say马马虎虎. But you can say还好instead of that. For example:
—你喜欢画画吗?
—还好。
Or
—你的中文很好!
—哈哈,还好,但是谢谢!我还需要努力^_^
By saying还好instead of马马虎虎people will your Chinese is much more Chinese and native! Hope it's helpful:))

马虎 pronounce : mǎ hu
马马虎虎 pronounce :mǎ mǎ hū hū
Well, actually,马 pronounces mǎ and 虎 pronounces hǔ. But you know, Chinese is difficult and protean, it acquires some efforts. BTW, are learning Chinese?

马虎 ma3 hu1
马马虎虎 ma2ma3hu1hu1
when a third tone is followed by another third tone, the first one should be pronounced as a second tone.
e.g. 你好 ni3hao3--->ni2 hao3, hen3hao3--->hen2 hao3
