The Zombie Model
Rick "Zombie Boy" Genest was initially born with a fully human appearance but later chose to transform his body into a zombie-like canvas by tattooing approximately 90% of his skin. His unique look gained widespread recognition after his appearance in Lady Gaga's music video for "Born This Way," catapulting him into a successful modeling career.
Prior to his unfortunate demise in 2018, Zombie Boy had accumulated an astonishing collection of tattoos, including more than 139 bone designs and upwards of 176 insect motifs. Many believe that Rick's fascination with death stemmed from his personal experience of enduring a brain tumor and enduring a six-month waitlist for surgery.
