His name's Rick Genest aka Zombie Boy, and that's not make-up. His entire face, head and torso are tatted to make him look like a skeleton.

I know the guy...he is a sweetheart. Very nice,laidback guy. Close to his mom and a great big brother to his little brother.

He looked so great before he started his obsession with ink.

After reading a few interviews (not sure why anyone would care what this guy thinks to actually book an interview, but I digress) I have come to the conclusion that he is insane - he wants to find a doctor that will amputate his nose and ears!

Sadly if he looks hard enough he will probably find someone who will do just that.

it probably makes him happy and he's not hurting anyone doing it, I say more power to him for being brave enough to face a critical world head on like that

I find the amputations and such a little off the deep end, but IDK... There's something about him I find really captivating. I think it's his eyes. Here's a video I made with his cuts from Mugler.

He didn't do it for anyone else. He did it for himself. He doesn't care about how he looks when he ages. As long as he feels good, then that's all that matters.
He doesn't care what anyone thinks of his creativity.
I think he's awesome.

With the release of the Gaga video - Rick Genest has been all over the news & on the cover of assorted magazines in Canada lately. They even featured one picture of him before he started his tattooing streak.

The guy was very handsome and when he asked the tattoo artist to do his face - he flatly refused. He returned a little later with his eyes done and his nose completely blacked out then the guy relented and agreed to fix what was done by the previous artist.

His body art has cost him over $15,000 so far.

Ironic that he'd appear in "Born This Way" as he clearly wasn't.
