Zombie face of Rick Genest

Over-the-top makeup is commonplace in high fashion these days, but permanently altering your appearance for the flashing lights? That's dedication and perhaps madness.

Canadian model Rick Genest, easily recognizable for his skull facial tattoos (yes, they're real), has been everywhere lately, from Lady Gaga's new video for "Born This Way" to the runways of Paris and Milan.

Genest is also the new face of iconic designer Thierry Mugler, who makes one-of-a-kind pieces for stars like Beyonce and Lady Gaga.

His unique appearance has garnered him a lot of attention and some time in the spotlight, but the look is definitely controversial. Do you think it's sexy or scary?
