Guys, today I want to share with you my picture "Rick Genest"

Rick Genest - Zombie Fight.

He is known for his very unusual tattoos, which turned him into a real skeleton. The body of the Zombie battle is covered with tattoos, symbolizing the human skeleton.Many people dream of becoming famous and seriously worried about how to attract attention. The Canadian guy Rick Genest became famous for his tattooing. His tattoos not only completely changed his appearance, but also his whole life.

The first tattooing of Rick

He made his first tattoo at the age of 16. His first artist was the Montreal tattoo master Frank Lewis. All the fanciful stories on the body of Rick they came up with and created together.

Rick Ghent spent thousands of dollars to make his body look like a rotting corpse - with insects and other signs of decay.

To see Rika's original image with a tonal cream

Cosmetic company Dermablend has taken the liberty to return to Rick its original appearance with the help of its foundation, the advertising of which is devoted to the original video with the participation of Zombie Boy.

How he became famous

Rick posted his photos on his page in Fasebook. These photos attracted a huge number of people. His page was visited by a record number of visitors, more than a half million.

Rika noticed a famous designer - Nicolas Formichetti.

Zombie-fight was noticed by the fashion designer, who worked with the famous Lady Gaga, he is also the head of the fashion brand 'Mugler' Nicolas Formichetti.

Rick is shot in the Lady Gaga video

Rick appeared in the famous Lady Gaga video for the song 'Born This Way', in which the pop diva was also painted under the skeleton, repeating Genstat's tattoos. 

From a small boy from Canada to a celebrity

Over time, Rick became one of Formichetti's favorite characters, he took part in all his projects. So, for a very short time, Rick Genest from a Canadian teen turned into a real celebrity.

Own attitude to the image

Rick still did not stop there - he knows exactly how many more "improvements" are needed before his final image of the Zombie battle will be ideal in his opinion. 

Rika Gengesta does not care that ordinary people's appearance is fear, horror and disgust. He is more worried about the fact that his puffiness on his neck does not look plausible.Personally, my opinion: 

"The best guy

Where does Rick live

Rick lives with his friends in Montreal, where he was born.

In quiet Canada

His friends are punks. Many of his friends play in groups. Rick prefers silence, no house."When I was at all these fashion parties in Europe, everywhere I could hear" uh-uh-uhts. "In Canada, we do not go for such people.We listen not only to" guitar "music, but to the house we certainly will not make a mosh , as we love."Rick 

I like how Rick relates to art:

"I like art in all its manifestations, music, fine arts, architecture - I like everything, I like classical art and modern art from painting in national museums to streetstreet in the streets of the outskirts." Rick Genest 

In Canada, the tattoo-model Zombie-fight has committed suicide. Before his death, he left a message to the fans

In Montreal, the tattoo-model Rick Genest, also known as Zombie Boy, is found dead. The cause of his death, most likely, was suicide - according to the authorities, he was experiencing psychological problems. Genest was 32 years old. 

His nickname was Rick Genest at the age of 15, when he had to undergo an operation to remove a brain tumor: before that, he had been between life and death for six months, according to him.

The first tattoo was made by Genest a few months after the operation. Subsequently, he covered the tattoo more than 90% of his body. Genest twice got into the Guinness Book of Records - as the person with the largest number of bone tattoos on the body (139) and with the largest number of insect tattoos (176).

Geneste began his career living on the street and participating in small freak shows across Canada. Later, several well-known bloggers wrote about him, and he began receiving proposals on cooperation from the media. During his career, he worked with Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair.Widespread fame for Genent came in 2011, when he starred in the video "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga, who was then at the height of popularity. After that, Djenest played several roles in feature films (best known - "47 roninov" with Keanu Reeves), and also started writing music. At the same time, he continued to work as a model. 

Before his death, Genest published in himself in social networks written, apparently, his own poem about the meaning of being and the "ancient narrow gates of death". It mentions Dambala - the essence of the voodoo religion, considered the beginning and the end of all things. Many fans thought that in this way Djenest said goodbye to the world.
