Rick Genest (August 7, 1985 – August 1, 2018), also known as Zombie Boy, was a Canadian artist, actor, fashion model, and musician. He held a Guinness World Record for his full-body tattoos.
Genest was born in Châteauguay, Quebec. Diagnosed with a brain tumor, he was on the surgery waitlist for six months, during which he contemplated his life and possible death, before undergoing the surgery with minimal complications.
Genest subsequently had himself tattooed over most of his body, and held the Guinness World Record for the most tattoos of human bones (139). He previously held the Guinness World Record for most tattoos of insects (176) until November 2018, when Joshua Thornton took the title.
Tattooed as a living skeleton, Genest also worked in various sideshows and freak shows across Canada as an illustrated man. Not long after beginning his facial tattoos, Genest was first introduced to the public on November 13, 2006 in a blog post on BME's ModBlog, which was followed in March 2008 by his first interview, by which time his tattoos were largely completed. In this interview Genest clarified that he preferred the moniker "Zombie" to "Skullboy", as BME had been referring to him.
