I have gotten 8 piercings from Greg. Absolutely amazing, very professionals and so friendly , super clean. Highly recommend if your looking for some piercings !!!

Greg was awesome. I got my first piercing ever in my ear lobes and he did such a good job and made me feel so comfortable that I got my belly button as well on the same visit!! I’ll definitely be back soon. I would suggest if you’re looking for the cleanest and most chill place in RI.

Greg was very professional and made me feel comfortable! Very informative and did a wonderful job with my piercings. I would definitely recommend if you are in that area. Thank you!

I went and got my cartilage and second hole on my lobes re-pierced and had a wonderful experience! Greg did a fantastic job and made sure the piercings were placed evenly! Everything was clean and prepackaged, he wore gloves, and he made sure to tell me how to properly do after care. He also asked me to return in two weeks to make sure everything is healing properly, which I greatly appreciate! I definitely would recommend this business to anyone who is interested in getting a piercing.

Had an amazing experience! Greg Veroon did such a great job with my piercing!! If your thinking of getting a piercing this is the place to do it!

Great jewelry selection, clean environment and great customer service!

Nice people

I got my ears pierced for the first time and Greg was very accommodating. He provided all the information I needed, and was transparent in what he was doing. I felt comfortable and relaxed.

He also is a good conversationalist - provided great tips for the local area!

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 ( . ) ( . )

Great place to get pierced! Greg is professional, the shop is clean, and he is totally laid back. Great experience and would recommend to anyone looking to get pierced in RI!

Greg does such an amazing job I never feel nervous. Ever since my first piercing I’ve gone back many more times for more! They’re so welcoming and professional. Great quality piercings and after care.

I needed a quick replacement plug for one of mine that fell out while i was on vacation. This place was able to help! I was hoping to find something cheaper, but $30 wasnt too bad! And they had some really cute options

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!

Professional, explained each step and aftercare directions carefully. My nose piercing looks so good! Very clean and good prices. 🙂

Just got my second hole pierced and Greg did an amazing job! He was very nice and professional. Definitely recommend!!!

Absolutely amazing experience. I just got my septum done here earlier and the staff were very friendly, helpful and informative. I loving leaving a place with no questions to ask I will definetly be coming back here for future piercings!

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

I really enjoy the staff at High Hopes/Stix and Studs. I've done the majority of my piercings with their main piercer and he always takes his time and he's very gentle. I got my rook and my industrial done the other day and I couldn't be more happy with the results. I originally thought about getting my daith done but he assured me that because I have a thicker ear the daith may be unsafer to do and I may be at higher risk of infection. This was very good information for me to know. He's also very honest and wasn't afraid to tell me that my piercings were in sensitive places and that they'd probably hurt. My rook piercing was bleeding badly and it got on my shirt, I told him it was fine, but he cleaned the blood stain off at the store which was very nice. I'd recommend Stix and Studz to anyone looking for some cool new piercings. The service is pleasant from beginning to end and all of the staff is friendly. No complaints about this experience. Thanks!

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

First time being pierced in years and had a great experience. Was very professional and accommodating. Very happy with the outcome and would go again!

Such a great experience! Greg made the piercing experience so comforting. The store was very clean and Greg made sure to take his time. It was very evident that he cared about his customers. I would 100% go back here for any other piercings in the future!

My fiancé wanted to getting her second holes for her ears pierced. They were super responsive and had her come right in. Everything was very clean and very professional. The level of detail put into piercing her ears was amazing. This is hands down the place to go.

Insane, I don’t know how else to describe it!! I got my ears pierced here in June with my cousin! He talked us through the whole process and even gave me a stress ball to squeeze while piercing! My friends are all astonished too! They healed so fast and so well everyone can’t believe it’s only been around 6 months! It was such an easy process! They made sure the earrings were placed precisely and used a surgically sharp needle. Used titanium as the starter earings which was amazing and gave us such good maintenance instructions. I will definitely come back for a second piercing soon. Just amazing!

amazing experience! the owner was so nice and did a great job. i came in really nervous and he made me feel really calm. very professional and sanitary!

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

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 sticks and studs 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!!!
