Hello! As many of you may already know, my name is Taylor or Tay Rey K! What many of you may not know is, I’ve been searching for a place to pierce unavailing for over a month now. I have been extremely depressed not being able to pierce everyday, and not having any answers of where I was going to work or what I was going to do. I feel like I’ve been watching the career I’ve worked so hard to build over the last eleven years fall apart before my eyes, and I have been completely powerless without any options on how I could make it stop. I told myself I would do everything I could to keep from giving up on my career and all my beautiful clientele in Topeka, I would exhaust every outlet available to me before I threw in the towel and tried my luck in other cities. Opening a piercing only studio has always been my dream, but I just didn’t have the faith that it was something I could achieve right now.

But, with the help of some of my close friends encouraging me to start this GoFundMe and another friend making the connections I needed to get into my own building, I’m ecstatic to say: I’m not giving up! I am opening a piercing only studio in Topeka! But, I have been out of work for over a month, and before that endless financial hard times thanks to Covid (as I’m sure many of you can relate), so I am swallowing my pride. I am coming to you and asking for help. Even if you only have a few dollars to spare, anything helps. I would be eternally grateful for any and all donations that help me get closer to achieving my dream. There’s nothing I want more in the world than continue to expand my career in Topeka, I want the studio to be up to the highest standards as I can possibly make it, because my clients deserve nothing less. My goal price is to help build a small room in the studio, a few small renovations to make sure it has everything to pass inspection, get my business license, get a few jewelry orders from the best jewelry companies, and to acquire some more up-to-date equipment (Like a Statim) to help me be more efficient.

I would like to be up and running as soon as humanly possible. For those of you that have waited for me to figure out what I was going to do, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. For those of you that donate, there will never be enough words for me to tell you how thankful I am for you. Even if you don’t have the money to donate but you’re still sticking around just to show you’re support, you mean the world to me. The support I have received over this past month is what has kept me going, because there was so many times I just wanted to give up. I cannot wait to see what 2022 has to offer, I cannot wait to show you all what I can really do. I love you.
