Rick Genest (Zombie Boy)

Rick Genest, known as Zombie Boy, was a Canadian performer and fashion model famous for his extensive skeletal tattoos that gave him a macabre, skeletal appearance. His tattoos covered most of his body, creating an eerie, artistic look inspired by human anatomy and horror themes. He gained international recognition through fashion campaigns, music videos, and his unique aesthetic. Genest's striking appearance challenged conventional standards of beauty and demonstrated how body art can serve as a form of self-expression and artistic identity. He was also involved in acting and science projects before tragically passing away in 2018.
