About Us

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 ♡

awesome place! really fun inside and super cool employees

I went in on my Birthday last minute looking to get my nose pierced and Greg squeezed me in between appointments. He was very accommodating and made me feel less nervous. You can tell he loves what he does and he is very professional / clean with his work. He knows what he’s talking about!

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!!!

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!!!

We've been coming here for our herb and piercing needs and we just love this place! The staff are pleasant and knowledgeable, the owner clearly knows what he is talking about and is invested in getting the job done right. I most recently stopped by to change out my labret piercing and had so much fun looking at their different jewelry pieces. I really appreciated the tips and tricks Greg was able to offer on caring for my piercing and apprentice Macey (spelling) is on her way to providing the top notch service I've come to expect from High Hope. 10/10 would recommend!

Amazing customer service, have gotten 6 piercings done here and all were great experiences and healed perfectly with lots of instruction from the piercing techs! My favorite shop on the island! Thanks Greg and Micah!

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!!

I would highly recommended Greg for his piercing. He took his time assuring that they were in the proper position and I was satisfied. He wanted to follow-up and encouraged you to call if there were any issues. Very pleased with his service.

Suzy who works there is the BEST. So happy and helpful absolute star of a human being. This store is amazing, has everything you need and the staff is awesome. I come here often and I am never disappointed. Big time 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!

Best piercing and smoke shop in Newport, very comfortable to get a piercing from Greg, and I've been there for several friends getting them too. Clean environment and helpful along the process. Highly recommend.
EDIT: And after just a few months the store has been revamped into what I think is the best shop in Rhode Island!!! Awesome!

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!

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

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

Awesome place, huge selection of everything from cheap glass, to signature pieces. Staff was super friendly and helpful, with an awesome vibe. One of the cooler head shops I've been in.

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!

Great Shop, I have been coming here a while now and I would never think about going anywhere else. Staff is extremely helpful and the owner is a great guy. Highly recommended High Hopes, The best shop in RI

This place is sooooo good. The workers there are very welcoming and nice. The piercer is such a perfectionist and wants to make sure your happy with what you get.
