Now that Halloween has just passed and costume parties are finished, do you still want to continue the Halloween mood? Someone liked the theme so much that he made himself look like a zombie 365 days. He tattooed his entire body and face, which ends up looking like a zombie. His name is Rick Genest, a Canadian artist as well as a fashion model born in Montreal. He is also known as Rico the Zombie Boy in the fashion industry, featured in TV series, movies, fashion shows, ads and magazines like GQ. He also appeared in Lady Gaga’s music video, “Born This Way”.
At the age of 15, Rick developed a brain tumor which required surgery to remove it. Since 16 year-old, Rick has gradually added tattoos on his body which expressed his struggle between good and evil, life and death. Someone discovered him on the street to shoot for a magazine, and then later for the Bazaar Magazine, followed by more appearances in movies and other shows.
In 2011, Rick became part of the Dermablend campaign titled “Go Beyond the Cover”, promoting their professional make-up products. In the following video, the makeup team covered up all of his tattoos from head to body with its concealer product.
I think the true Halloween costume for Rick is to look normal for a change!
