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.

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!

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!

the best ever and i’ve never written a review before so you know i’m serious

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

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!

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!!!

Great customer service

Nice people

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!

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

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 !!!!!!

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

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 ♡

highly recommend. hi greg, you just pierced my ear for the second time this week. thank you (i really like it)

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!

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!!!

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. He is very nice and helpful and makes u few comfortable at all times. This place is probably the best place to go in Rhode Island for piercings. Definitely recommend!

lost the ball to my septum and they helped me find the correct size and replace it with 2 really awesome ones. Great selection fair price and awesome service!

My friends and I were on girls weekend in Newport and came across High Hopes. We all were privileged enough to be pierced by the G.O.A.T — Greg, of course. He was so professional, knowledgeable, pleasant, fun etc etc! We loved him!!! See you soon Greg ( . ) ( . )

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

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!

Such good vibes lots of love for my people

i love this shop! super great products and great customer service. very organized and an abundance of good products!!!

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!

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!!!!

I got my nose pierced while visiting from Ohio! They did such a good job and got me in at last minute . They all were so nice and friendly ! They had such cool stuff in there and the vibes were everything . I completely recommend !

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!
