International Hero Dept: Genest, also known as Zombie Boy, has become a local and international hero, a muse to fashion's avant-garde, a role model for Lady Gaga. His claim to fame is his almost totally tattooed body, including a rendering of brains on his skull, the skeletal system on his body, according to Montreal Gazette. In Milan, the Guinness Book of World Records marked two records for Genest on April 27: the greatest number of insect tattoos, at 176 he promptly got his 177th ; and the greatest number of human bones, at 139 and rick Genest, tattooed former squeegee kid, is posing for pictures and video on a patch of gravel by the tracks in Westmount. A young woman gets out of her car and runs over to congratulate him. She tells him she loves and admires what he has done. The past six months have been an incredible journey - Genest has walked the catwalks in Paris for Mugler, courtesy of creative director Nicola Formichetti; appeared in Lady Gaga's Born This Way video; and travelled far, wide and often - New York, Paris, Milan, Budapest, Warsaw, Mexico City last weekend, with Rio and Copenhagen coming up on his agenda.
