Many years ago I thought Lukas Zpira had betrayed my trust. There was an individual who told me that Lukas had done so. Unfortunately, instead of speaking to Lukas about the situation, I immaturely shut him out. Lukas attempted on several occasions to e-mail me, to try to understand why I was upset, but I would see the e-mail and delete it. I have told a handful of people about Lukas betraying me, which I’m sure damaged his reputation. While in Europe this past September, I decided to put my grudge aside and talk to Lukas. I told Lukas why I felt betrayed. He was upset and frustrated because the situation never actually happened. Through additional individuals I have since had irrefutable proof that Lukas did not betray my trust. My stubborn-headed past rationalization of the situation damaged Lukas and the body modification industry. Lukas is a brilliant body modification artist. We have collaborated on projects in the past, and I am sure I destroyed and delayed many other possible collaborations with him and others.

Lukas, I apologize for being immature in this situation and hurting you. I hope you accept my apology although I understand if you do not. I would like to thank Samppa for shedding light on the situation. I do learn from mistakes, and do not intend to repeat this one again.

Thank you,

Steve Haworth
