Julian was AMAZING!!!! He made my 7 year old daughter feel so comfortable and confident to get her ears pierced. He took his time and explained the process to ensure she felt comfortable. Julian is very professional and his studio is very clean. I would recommend Julian to any of my friends!

I came in with a nose piercing that was not healing right at all, did not have an appointment, but they had the time and saw me and fixed my mess of a piercing right there on the spot. The place is lovely and pristine, and Julian took the time to thoroughly explain to me what went wrong and the best way to fix the situation. He was incredibly nice and obviously very experienced. The process was quick and he was gentle so I did not experience any pain. Price was beyond fair as well. Overall, beautiful, clean studio and great service. Now I get to keep my whole nose! Thanks, Julian!

Julian is SO friendly, went over EVERYTHING we could possibly need for our piercing. He cracked jokes to make us feel comfortable, the whole experience was 10/10. The piercing itself was so quick and done perfectly.Something I have to stress is his perfect sterile technique. He autoclaves everything! If you want a professionally-done piercing thats *safe*, this is THE place to get it. Thank you SO much Julian 🙏

The second you walk into Julian’s (owner/operator)Ganesha Body Piercing you are trasnported into another realm! The way he has transformed this Kapaa space into a professional and artistic zone is a gift for us Kauaians! I took my niece to get her first piecing, she obviously was nervous. Julian’s natural charm eased her worry within the first 2 minutes of walking in.He tactfully explained to her all important details of having a new piercing, and didn’t hold back the reality’s of the healing process and how if differs for the each person! He even suggested she takes vitamins to keep her “temple” healthy during the healing process! I thought that was a sweet and generous piece of advice for a young lady! As we enter the showroom the overwhelming excitement just took over me!He shared some of his professional secrets with anodizing her jewelry, and allowed us to watch in his “laboratory”. He pierced her navel with precise smoothness which inspired me to get a hidden helix piercing myself! He talked to me for 5 minutes and knew exactly my taste and we agreed on this BEAUTIFUL piece of jewelry. This experience WAS SO SO FUN!! My niece and I reverberated with happiness, love and excitement for the rest of the day!! Visitors and locals..please check out this shop, let Julian put an artistic needle to your body and fall in love with the excitement of body art!!JULIAN WE ADORE YOU! Thank you for taking care of us..THAT WAS SO FUN!!! We’ll be back!!!

I am in LOVE! Julian is my new favorite person on island. I came in to shop for a new septum ring came out with a whole new piercing. I have been perusing for quality jewelry and he has a massive collection for all types of body jewelry. His assortment of timeless pieces are jaw dropping. He’s funny, professional, and has over 30 years of experience in this domain. He personalizes placement of piercings to make sure it’s the best fit for you. This has been such a memorable experience and I am definitely coming back again. Thank you Julian for the laughs and entertainment. I left feeling like a whole new person!

Julian was beyond amazing with our whole family. He explained the entire piercing process to our 3 kids and our 15 year old. The 15 yo got a cartilage piercing. This was a family, educational, experience for us. He had a great selection of jewelry and couldn’t have made us feel more comfortable. He is the safest piercer on Kauai, as he follows verified safe piercer practices. Don’t go anywhere else!

Julian made getting my daughters first cartilage piercing such a great experience. He was so friendly & chill yet professional. He made her very comfortable by explaining every step. He had such an incredible variety of beautiful jewelry. I would highly recommend his shop for anyone, whether its your first piercing or your 20th. We cant wait to come back!

I can’t thank King Julian enough for making my navel piercing such a fun experience. My aunty and I enjoyed every minute there and it was all thanks to him and his process. I went in pretty nervous about the whole thing but he took the time to make me feel confident in everything, from my jewelry selection to the piercing itself. You can tell how passionate he is about his art and it shows in his work. From that to his welcoming presence, he is everything you want in a piercer. We can’t wait to go back!

Julian is incredibly talented and professional, patient and thorough, and we’re grateful to have him here on island!

Review №11

Have multiple piercings from Julian—Ganesha is the ONLY place I get pierced at. Unfortunately while sleeping I somehow broke one of my beautiful ear Jewlery pieces. Texted Julian to let him know what happened. He was very responsive and encouraged me to make an appt. Came down to do some shopping and get it replaced. He has soooo many beautiful pieces in shop—you must stop in to see. Julian let me know that my piece could be repaired and he sent it out for me. It came back as beautiful as new. And I couldn’t believe it didn’t cost me anything… this beautiful piece had a lifetime guarantee, say what?!? Julian is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and I will forever trust him with ALLLLLLL my piercing needs. Thank you soooooo much Julian at Ganesha Body Piercing!!!

I took my daughter to get her nose pierced for her 16th birthday. We had such a great experience here! The array of jewelry was very impressive and we found just what we were looking for. My daughter was nervous and she was quickly put at ease. He walked her through everything he would be doing and was very reassuring. My daughter marveled at how easy and painless it was! He was very thorough in explaining aftercare and she took him seriously! Overall an EXCELLENT experience!

Our 12yr old daughter wanted to pierce her ears for the first time, we went in for a consultation first and Julian walked her step by step through the process so she knew everything to expect. We then returned to get her ears pierced & she chose a beautiful black rainbow stone! Highly recommend!!

Amazing experience for my 10yo’s ear piercing. Julian’s expertise, professionalism, respect and aloha, and beautiful pristine studio setting, made this a truly meaningful and special coming-of-age ritual for us both. She felt safe and cared for, and was thrilled with the process and outcome. Jewelry choices are stunning and best quality. We’re grateful for this one-of-a-kind stellar piercing service available on Kauai. Julian is a true master of the piercer craft & science. Mahalo mau loa e Ganesha.

I had an exceptional experience getting my ears pierced by Julian at Ganesha Body Piercing. His studio, impeccably clean and tastefully designed by Julian himself, immediately put me at ease. His personalized attention was fantastic – he not only ensured I was comfortable with my decision but also took the time to address every question I had and guide me through the extensive selection of jewelry. The range of options available is impressive, he definitely has something for everyone. Without a doubt, my visit to Ganesha Body Piercing was the highlight of my trip. Julians professionalism and vibrant energy make him a standout artist in his field. I’d absolutely recommend him to anyone seeking a top-tier, enthusiastic, and professional piercer.

Review №18

Came on vacation to Kauai and Went for a consult for my 6 year old daughter. Julian gave us a lot of good information, he didn’t pressure us at all to get a piercing. Due to our lifestyle and it being summer it was decided it was not the best time to get my daughter a piercing. He recommended information where to get a safe piercing in our home area and went over all the after care instructions and types of piercing and materials to consider in the future whenever we decided to move forward with piercing her ears. Even though we didn’t get pierced the information was extremely helpful and we plan to get her ears pierced in fall. Definitely would recommend Julian.

Julian was great! Had a nice selection of jewelry available. Consulted him with a second nasal piercing on placement and what would look best with my current piercing.

I have been to Julian for 5 piercings and he has never disappointed. I have been to multiple other piercers in the past and after I always got infections since I have very sensitive ears and have a hard time healing. With Julian, all of my piercings have healed amazingly, and his shop is very beautiful and clean.

Review №21

Julian did my past piercings and did one today for me. I remembered him back when and remember today because he did such an amazing job making the experience so comforting. He took his time not only to explain the healing process and how everything will go, but he also took the time to get to know me. He is the definition of customer service and aloha! Much mahalos to you, Julian! Until the next piercing adventure.

Julian is such an expert in his field. Made my appointment easy and well worth my time. Initially went in to switch my rook jewelry and ended up leaving with a new piercing instead (which I love 100x more) all thanks to his recommendation. Very knowledgeable and not just in it for the money; he makes sure his clients are getting some dope art based on their unique ear anatomy!

He’s done 6 piercings for me and I will keep coming back because he’s incredibly knowledgeable, everything is spotless and sterilized, has absolutely the most gorgeous jewelry to pick from, great customer service (an earring broke and he replaced it for free) and he makes you feel at ease. Mahalo Julian!

I had an amazing experience, the piercer was super helpful in every aspect and had an incredible eye for detail - all the jewelry was gorgeous and there was a lot of variety to choose from. The piercings turned out better than I could’ve imagined and the care he put into making them turn out this way was phenomenal! I highly recommend this piercer!

Review №26

Julian is amazing. I visited today to get my nose done, nervous of course! Right away I felt at ease, I was greeted with a warm welcome, and a few laughs right off the bat. His shop is probably the cleanest shop you could imagine. His jewelry selection is phenomenal, definitely something for everyone. Multiple different designs, price ranges, and colors. He was very informative, and fast with the piercing, I hardly felt it! He went over aftercare in depth, and welcomed any questions I had! I will be back for any other piercings that I might want! 100% recommend him! Thanks Julian!

Review №30

I had a cartilage (helix) earring fall out while at the beach and decided to book a visit to Ganesha for a replacement. The helix piercings on both of my ears are about six and a half months (though not fully) healed now, but the temporary/former jewellery were either not fit for cartilage or poor quality, respectively. I ended up getting replacement jewellery for each helix. I feel so much better with the new ones now!Upon walking in to Ganesha you will be greeted by a clean, comfortable shop with an extensive selection of jewellery. Julian is friendly, helpful, and highly knowledgeable in his practice. I’d love to come back here for any future piercings or jewellery. I absolutely recommend this place for any of your piercing needs! Thank you again for your help, Julian! ☺️

I came in with my mom and Aunt for a daith piercing while we were on vacation. Julian gave us such a great experience with his expertise and help in deciding what type of piercing would look best for our individual ears. My mom and I ended up getting different piercings than what we originally thought we were going to get and could not be happier with our choices. My aunt went ahead with the daith piercing for her migraines. We were honestly blown away by the level of professionalism, cleanliness, and knowledge. It was by far our best piercing experience and we would recommend Julian to anyone.

We ended our lovely Hawaii vacation with an ear piercing for mother and daughter, and we could not have received better customer service than what Julian provided at Ganesha Body Piercing. His shop is clean, air-conditioned, and beautifully decorated. He was professional, thorough, and clean, and he made us feel comfortable. Julian went step by step, showed us his process, answered all our questions, and explained the sanitation protocol and aftercare instructions. I went first so my daughter could see the process, and I felt good having such a professional pierce my teenagers ears. Before arriving, I was a bit nervous/anxious since Id never been pierced at a Tattoo shop. Still, Im beyond happy/satisfied with our experience to the point that I would go back to Hapaa just to get pierced again by Julian. Thank you to Julian for everything, and I highly recommend his shop.

We were really impressed with both the piercing experience and the studio. There are no piercing standards in the state of Hawaii and Julian has committed on his own to be a member of the APP, which comes with strict guidelines for hygiene and facility set up. He’s so experienced and professional which makes everything very smooth and easy. If you choose to book an appointment with Julian you will definitely be in good hands.

Our day in paradise started with a little less paradise when our young daughter woke up with an infected earring pushed inside her ear. We visited urgent care but she was left with a straw in her ear and in desperate need of a replacement earring with a longer flat stem. The nurse recommended Julian at Ganesha. Julian made room in his busy pre-Thanksgiving schedule to care for our daughter. Julian calmed her down, let her pick out her new gemstone, and even the color of her posts and stems (Blurple). He was very patient, calm, and kind. His business is clean and the piercing selection was vast. We are SO thankful for him and Ganesha this Thanksgiving weekend. Than you!

Talk about a high end piercing shop! Julian is such an experienced and professional piercer. He only carries the best jewelry, maintains a sparkly clean shop, and does his best to ensure his clients are comfortable and informed. He pierced both sides of my nose today and was very supportive and encouraging throughout the entire process, wanting to ensure they looked perfect and that I felt as comfortable as possible. I was hesitant once I laid down on the table, and he patiently waited and gave me as much time as I needed. He even gave me recommendations for which jewelry to choose, and he was on point! Definitely recommend. Might even hear some fun stories if youre lucky. I wouldn’t go to anyone else’s shop but his on island. Doesn’t get better than this

Julian has the creative touch of an artist, sterile control of environment and materials of a scientist, and gentle guidance of a counselor. He walked my 6 and 9 year old daughters through the process of ear piercing without any obligation of completing the process if they had any uncertainty. Both girls love the jewelry they went home with and felt confident about how to care for their piercings. I appreciated the whole process and was impressed with the high level of intention given to each step. Thanks so much, Julian!

AWESOME, awesome, awesome! I’ve had nine piercings - all of which I wish were done here, by Julian. I at least had the luxury of choosing jewelry for my conch piercing among his beautiful selection - something I intend to keep in for the rest of my life (/ for the life of this piercing). He is very knowledgeable, kind, and overall has a good energy. I cannot recommend going here enough - the most credible piercer I’ve encountered to date. I originally went to a different tattoo/body piercing shop to view jewelry before they even recommended it’s best to visit Julian’s place. So impressed by Ganesha Piercing! Thank you!

I had a fantastic experience with Julian at Ganesha Body Piercing and Jewelry. The first thing I noticed upon arriving was how clean and well lit his store was. He offers an impeccable selection of high quality, ethically sourced jewelry which I really appreciate. The jewelry pricing is incredibly fair for the quality of jewelry that you are getting installed.Julian himself is a very professional, approachable and friendly individual. He installed a gold seam ring into my healed septum piercing. He gave me his card afterwards and told me that if I had any questions or concerns, that I could contact him.When I got home, I noticed that the seam ring was slightly warped and notified Julian about it via text. He was very quick to respond and offered to replace the jewelry free of charge. I am very pleased with the entire experience I had. I would highly recommend his shop to anyone looking for good quality service and beautiful products. Thanks again Julian! You helped me in more ways than one!

Accidentally ripped my nose piercing out while on vacation - stopped in and got fantastic service and a nice new stud! Wish I got my original piercing here as I learned way more in my visit than when I originally got mine done. Would definitely recommend stopping here for a piercing or new jewelry. Mahalo!

Review №102

I’ve never been so happy with my piercing!! It hasn’t even been a week since I got this helix piercing and it’s been healing so well, no swelling or irritation. I think this must be a combination of Julian’s high quality jewelry and his good judgment of where to place the jewelry. I’m so happy that I finally found a piercer that I can trust.

This is the best of the best for piercing, anywhere! The shop is gorgeous, meticulously clean, and Julian, the owner, is talented, knowledgeable, ultra professional, personable, and reasonably priced. The display room is set up like a fine jewelry shop. My 16-year-old got a septum and double nostril piercings and has had no problems whatsoever and theyre perfectly spaced and aligned. We wont go anywhere else for piercings.

I’ve pierced my nose and re-opened my belly button piercing, and Julian was always extremely professional clean and helpful.I got one of the jewelries for my belly button and after a few months the gem fell off, I was devastated since I paid $90 for it.When I called to ask what can be done, I was happy to know that they stand behind their product and Julian replaced my jewelry with a new one with no fee!The prices of the jewelry are higher than the average,But the quality of care and service is so worth it :)))I’ll gladly pay for more new jewelry from this place!

Julian was amazing! I’ve never trusted a piercer so much and felt so comfortable. I got my nipples pierced which is a scary place to get it but Julian made me feel so relaxed. If you want a professional and great piercer with great quality jewelry go to Ganesha!! Next time I want a piercing I’m coming all the way to Kauai!

Julian was a delight to meet. I came in because I got a helix piercing done somewhere else 5 days ago. I noticed My ears started to become very swollen, and red and I started to develop a little lump next to my newly pierced ears. I came into see Julian and spoke to him about what happened, He was so helpful and informative! He recommended I take the piercings out right away because my ears were just having a really bad reaction. He offered to take the piercings out himself, because he said my ears were just so swollen, it was my body telling me it was rejecting it. His place was super clean, he was very professional. He didnt charge me anything, and I was so grateful I went to him! I definitely will go back :)

I arrived on Kauai with a 5 week old conch piercing. It was time for the bar to be changed out so I decided it would be fantastic to add another diamond to the 9 I already have. Since my piercing was done at a tattoo shop in Ft Worth, I started my search for a reputable shop. After checking out Google (how did we survive in prior years without Google!) I learned that Farsyde Tattoo was the only place to go. I spoke with Rob and he explained they do not do piercings but the ONLY person to see was Julian at Genesha Body Piercing. I called Julian, and since he was just closing, we agreed to meet the following morning. Just entering his delightful place of business was a wonderful experience. Not only is his shop clean, modern and beautiful but karma instantly surrounds you. I was greeted as if I was an old friend! The jewelry he offers is beautiful and high quality. We worked together to find the perfect piece. I went in with a specific piece in mind and left with a stunning earring! I could not be happier, not only with my experience, but meeting this kind professional man. If you are interested in a piercing while on the island, do yourself a favor and go see Julian!

Review №120

Dude is overpriced, unprofessional & rushed everything. I’ve never paid $200 for an ear piercing to have the “professional” piercer straight up scream at me like a bad child for pointing out he wanted to pierce directly into a blood vessel in my ear. Bet he would’ve screamed even more if I bled because of his screw up. Zero customer service skills & when I mention this dude to piercers on the mainland, several have told me this is not the first time they have heard a story like this. It’s been years and I still think about what a horrible experience dealing with Julian was. You ain’t nothing but $$ to him and he makes it super clear.

Review №121

Prior to visiting Kauai, the captive ball in my tragus ring had fallen out. After multiple attempts to replace it myself and enlisting the help of my husband we could not get the ball back in. Unable to visit a shop before leaving the mainland, I just left the hoop in my ear and decided to deal with it later. Upon arrival to Kauai my husband and I ate at a local restaurant and I overheard Julian Ganesha speaking to another patron about owning the only all piercing studio in Hawaii. I bugged my husband for two days to take me there! Julian has a stunning variety of all kinds of body jewelry. The shop was not only impeccably clean, but also beautiful. Julian allowed me to tinker with all the tragus jewelry while I made a decision (I tend to be a little indecisive, so this was quite awhile). The jewelry prices may sound steep, but he stands behind the company that supplies the jewelry, it is made in America and has lifetime guarantee. I decided on a beautiful piece of clustered gemstone jewelry and I could not be more happy with my choice!!! Julian is knowledgeable, has been in the piercing industry for over 25 years and just seemed like a damn good guy! We enjoyed great conversation and I never once felt uncomfortable as I have sometimes felt in the past in piercing or tattoo studios. I definitely recommend stopping into his studio in the Dragon Building in Kapaa.

Review №122

Look no further!My teenage daughter had her second ear piercings. She was very determined to have them (because why where only 2 earrings, when you can wear 4?), but is as always was terrified of needles.Mr. Ganesha walked her through care steps first, which was quite important for vacation planning purposes, explained things in a manner that allows one to provide a true informed consent, and later walked her through all of the steps of the process, which was exactly what she needed. Piercing ended up being bloodless and almost painless. She later commented that the aftercare solution, that was provided, helps a lot too.The store is very clean, selection of jewelry is good, process is very efficient.Mr. Ganesha seems to belong to the old school of professionals, who not only take pride in their work, but also treat ones body parts as a part of a human, rather as some random inanimate objects, which, unfortunately is often the case.Local tattoo parlors spoke highly of him too.I am very happy that the experience, that could have been quite stressful turned out to be very pleasant.

Review №125

My experience here was absolutely amazing. I’ve gotten my ears pierced at four other places in my life, and they all got infected, were red for a long long time, and hurt like hell. At this place, however, it didn’t hurt at all. It’s only been 3 days since I’ve gotten an industrial bar pierced into my ear and I can bend my ear and touch it (with clean hands lol) without it hurting WHATSOEVER! It’s also not red at all. It’s really unlike any other piercing I’ve ever gotten. Julian is also extremely nice, helpful and professional :) it’s so comfortable there, and the price is more than worth the experience. The quality of this place is really apparent

He did a great job piercing my tragus and stretching my septum. He clearly cares about his craft, is super sanitary, is extraordinarily knowledgeable about what he does, and he offers to anodize any titanium jewelry you purchase right in front of you(its so kewl). Id go back to him any day, and Id recommend anyone on the island to go.

The owner is fabulous! We were down the hall getting tattoos and the kiddo wanted a piercing so she went to his store and he was gone getting something for the shop. So we waited and it was totally worth it. We stepped in and he gave all five of us ice cold water and chocolates. He thoroughly educated the kiddo on and about the piercing process and the after care. The shop is super cool and the jewelry he carries is beautiful and high quality. It was a great experience and I would recommend him!!!P.S The Namste bitchs sign had me cracking up

The owner/operator of this business is very nice, has a good energy, is really clean, and very knowledgeable and professional. The inside of this shop shows that in every way.He is not only passionate about his work, but also cares about the people who come to him for piercings and jewelry and advice about piercings and jewelry. If you are, or are thinking about getting a piercing, I highly suggest seeing Ganesha Body Piercing and Jewelry.
