About Us

Great shop and environment! The staff was super personable and the owner Greg was extremely helpful. They have all sorts of things from glassware and jewelry, to cool posters and apparel. I’ve also had many friends get piercings done here and they came out amazing! Beautiful jewelry selection too. Highly recommend!

If you are in need of ANYTHING, come here. To start off, Greg was amazing. He was such good help, knew all of his material, and had a great store for all your necessary purchases. While I was here I went to two other places, but nothing beats High Hope. 100% recommend!

The owner is always super friendly and knowledgeable, and they always have quality products

My experience here today was comforting and very good. I had a procedure done and Greg was amazing. Thanks to the staff for the outstanding customer service.

I love going into high hope! Love the environment and the employees. I’ve got a few piercings here and it is hands down my favorite place to get a piercing. I would highly recommend!!!

Best smoke shop in the state of RI, I also have gotten all of my piercings here and they all came out amazing! The owner Greg is very professional and the shop is a great environment!

This place has it all. Some of the bongs they carry are top of the line. They have all types of smoking products for the canabis enthusiast. I highly recommend a visit while you enjoy a local resturant. This is one of the best head shops I have been to. I bought this bong for $160.

I made an appointment to get my industrial done. Susie was super nice at the front desk when I went in and very positive and reassuring me it was going to be okay because I was nervous. Greg did an awesome job measuring my ear and picking the right bar for my ear size. He was quick and it was relatively painless and it looks freaking awesome. I've wanted this piercing done for more than 5 years and I'm so happy that I was able to get it done at High Hope because they did such a great job and they were so welcoming! I would definitely go again to get something else done in the future, and I will be very soon! Thank you so much Greg and Susie I am so beyond happy with my new industrial bar!!!

Amazing place, gentleman who runs the store is super nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend 11/10

I got my orbital pierced by Greg. He was knowledgeable, thorough, and had an outgoing personality. Would definitely recommend and will be going again for my future piercings.

I went in here on Valentine's Day to get my nose pierced, it was something I wanted to do for over 10 years. After reading all of the wonderful comments about Greg and his staff, I finally did it. He and everyone made me feel very comfortable and at ease. The place is clean and well maintained. I'm happy I made this my choice to have it done

I got my nose pierced here at it was super professional! Great workers, timely piercing, and kind the whole time! Will be coming back !!

I really enjoyed the service from stix n studs! I got two cartilage piercings today along with my friend. My other friends got seconds and a belly button piercing. All the services were amazing and Greg could not have been more helpful. I’m coming back for a 2 week checkup in 2 weeks. Thank you again! Highly recommend this place!!

Got my nose pierced here, and it looks great! Fantastic customer service, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a piercing!!

Such good vibes lots of love for my people

Husband stopped in. Owner / worker was amazing and helpful. Completely stopped ordering online and will only shop here locally. Help this shop make it through COVID yo. Use cash ♡

These two strippers recommended this place to me and I could not have been happier with the service. 5 stars from me!

Great customer service

My teenage daughters have been begging to have their nose pierced. I must say that I am so impressed by Greg's professionalism and attention to detail. He made sure that the location of the piercing was absolutely perfect. He took the time to thoroughly explain the piercing and most importantly the cleaning and healing process. Greg also noted to call if there are further questions and to stop in two weeks to have it looked at. My girls were over the moon happy! The piercings look amazing and they're already planning their next one. Thank you!

Best piercing shop in Newport! The owner and employees are super helpful and friendly. I’ve gotten all my piercings done here and have always been given high quality jewelry and aftercare products. Always an excellent experience at this shop.

love the vibes and workers !!! great place to check out if you're in newport !!!

Getting my naval piercing for the second time had me a little anxious because of the scar tissue. Greg made the procedure comfortable and quick, and talked me through everything. If you’re getting a piercing, I recommend coming here! Great customer service and clean/safe conditions!

My first time ever getting pierced and he was awesome! He really took the time to make them even. He mentioned he has 12 years of piercing experience and it shows! Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Excellent smoke shop with amazing variety and selection at great prices! The staff is friendly knowledgeable and very helpful. I will definitely come back to this spot again and again.👍👍

Both guys working the store were really chill and really professional. I went in with my gf because she was getting her nose pierced and he helped my get a gauge out of my ear that was stuck free of charge! Great place overall.

Greg is the best!! Very welcoming and always makes me feel comfortable. I’ve gotten two piercings and they’ve both turned out great. Highly recommend!!

Greg is the best! Pierced my lobe. It was quick and looks bomb! 10/10 would recommend. Newport’s go to for any piercings! Great prices and excellent service!

Great place with a lot of options to choose from! Beautiful pieces as well as outstanding service right when you walk through the door. The man who was working was super helpful and deserves recognition at the least!Visit and see for yourself because it’s totally worth stopping in even just to look around at all of the beautiful glass !!!!!!

Awesome selection of glass and clothing and very knowledgeable and helpful staff!!!

I’ve gotten a few piercings from Greg at High Hope and each experience has been great. He’s always very thorough with his explanations of after care and provides his info for any follow up concerns. Thanks Greg for a pleasant piercing experience!
