Check out Lady Gaga's muse, Rick Genest, a.k.a. Zombie Boy, without his trademark skeletal tattoos. Most people get shocked and amazed when people cover themselves in ink, however Genest has shocked all by concealing his famed body art. Normally saturated head to toe, his body resembles a decomposing corpse that pays homage to horror films.

 

Rick's bizarre look has taken the formerly homeless man off the streets and onto various catwalks for designer Thierry Mugler, not to mention Lady Gaga's studio where he starred opposite Mother Monster in her "Born This Way" music video. For his latest venture, the mysterious model has joined creative forces with DermaBlend, a concealer that will basically hide anything. In the video, which was spotlighted in Times Square on Thursday, Rick transform into an average guy. So what does he look like unmasked? It turns out he's actually a handsome guy, but I must say I definitely prefer the tattoos!

 

The transformation has Rick most excited to show someone very special in his life as he tweeted yesterday, "Can't wait for my Grandmother to see me without Tattoos!"

 

Which side of Rick do you prefer?
