Rick Genest (born August 7, 1985) is a Canadian artist and fashion model. He is also known as Zombie Boy for being tattooed like a corpse across the majority of his body. Creating the tattoos took him 3 years & left him homeless. & that's when the magic happened, Lady Gaga's fashion director (and Mugler's creative director) Nicola Formichetti discovered Rick and this resulted in the menswear show, something not originally planned. His discovery also influenced Formichetti on the collection itself.
On February 27, 2011, Rick was featured in Lady Gaga's video for "Born this way", with Lady Gaga wearing makeup to replicate Genest's tattoos.
& this is Rick without his tattoos (he's still cute but I think he's stunning with all of his ink)
Just look at his smile!

I have one question to ask of this guy: "HOW do you live with yourself?" I mean like literally :D Of course he looks cool on pics, designers love him, photographers love him, Gaga loves him - but waking up with this face every single day!? All that coolness aside, the man's sure got issues...
Cheers,

Le truc qui est époustouflant chez ce gars, c'est qu'il a tout pour être monstrueux, et que malgré tous ces tatouages, il dégage une innocence communicante !

Hes an artist. Artists are having issues. And thats what make them artist.
insane!
As I arrived at this website via Facebook, can anyone tell me which FB profile it the real Rick Genest?
To each his own. A neat look for the occasional picture, but I can't imagine how he deals with the weird looks and snide comments the rest of the time.
