"O Luciano é e sempre será a pessoa mais importante na minha carreira como Body Piercer, por duas razões simples. A primeira é que ele foi e continua sendo meu mestre, meu mentor de profissão, me ajudando e sempre me dando suporte, mesmo com essa distância geográfica entre nós. Mas o segundo motivo, e talvez o mais importante, é que a energia boa do Lu é o que me mantém no piercing. A energia dele me contagia, me dá vida, me motiva. O destino foi perfeito por ter cruzado nossos caminhos, na hora certa! E a mim resta agradecer, ao universo, ao destino, ao Lu ❤"
