See that guy next to Lady Gaga in her "Born This Way" video? Of course you do. See, Lady Gaga's temporary masterpiece took two hours in make up, however, the dude's next to her is permanent. That's right, he's tattooed that way! This is Rick Genest, 25, and he's the muse of a Gaga collaborator. If you can just imagine stripping that tux off him, you'd find a museum of ink in the form of intricately drawn Goth skeleton on his entire upper body (I'm not sure about his lower body) to make him look something like a decomposing corpse. It took three years and 7 grand to get the whole thing done, but he did it. It took a plethora of odd jobs to pay for, but now he's walking runway shows for designer Thierry Mugler and does other modeling jobs as well.
He may look insanely emo for anyone's taste, but his mother says he's very respectful to others, is loved by his family, and always texts her back. You must get to know people before judging, and I'm sure plenty of people will want to know him. Under those sharp lines and dark eye sockets is lovely facial structure that's absolutely captivating. More Rick, please.
Rick stares intently into the camera from 4:10 on. Good luck not being even more hypnotized by him.
