A man spent 200 million to have “human bones” tattooed all over his body and then committed suicide after becoming famous. Why?

According to legend, in the Song Dynasty, Qian Ruoshui was invited to meet by Chen Tuan, the "Qingxu Scholar". When Qian Ruoshui arrived, Chen Tuan had already been sitting with an eminent monk for a while. After Qian Ruoshui sat down, the eminent monk looked at Qian Ruoshui for a long time, and finally told Qian Ruoshui: "You are a person who dares to retreat bravely."

Later, after Qian Ruoshui entered the officialdom, he was able to get through all the way and soon sat down When he reached the position of Deputy Privy Envoy, Qian Ruoshui resigned and retired to live a stable life. In Chinese history, there are actually many people who bravely retreated from the rapids, but in modern Canada, there was a person who bravely "died" in the rapids!

The name of Naiki is Rick Genest. He was born on August 7, 1985, in a relatively wealthy family in the suburbs of Montilier, Canada. In Montreal, tattoos are a very common thing, and Rick began to think about what kind of tattoos he would get in the future when he was very young.

But before Rick could get his first tattoo, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 15. From then on, the boy began to fear the disease and death. and other elements produce thoughts and even persistence. Fortunately, the operation was completed successfully, and Rick finally escaped death.

After surviving, Rick became obsessed with the free and uninhibited artistic expression of graffiti and rock. This free and unique artistic style was consistent with his own thinking about death and morbidity. Fusion, finally, in 1991, at the age of 16, Rick got his first tattoo in his life - a skull and cross bones pattern on his left shoulder.

In the next five years, Rick became more and more obsessed with skulls, bones, etc., and got tattoos all over his body and even on his face. According to legend, Rick spent nearly 200 million yuan on this set of tattoos! After that, Rick completely abandoned his past self and began to show himself as a strange image of a skull tattoo and a "zombie boy".

When he became famous in 2008, the 23-year-old Rick was invited to participate in a performance show. Rick happily went, but this performance failed to get him much attention. What really changed his life was that in 2010, he was invited to work as a model for some fashion companies, and his photos were seen by Nicola.

Nicola admired Rick's uniqueness and his artistic pursuits very much. When they met in 2011, they had a very good chat and even became spiritual friends. And Nicola also began to look for various development opportunities for Rick. Finally, in 2011, Skeleton Boy was spotted by international superstar Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga also wanted to try some alternative artistic breakthroughs at the time, so she invited Rick to star in her new song MV. In the MV, Lady Gaga transformed into a "female zombie" and danced with a zombie boy. . It is precisely through the influence of Lady Gaga's new song that Rick's name is well known around the world.

Not grassy but even so, Rick’s alternative art is not accepted by most people in the world. When many people see him, what they get is not aesthetic enjoyment, but terror and horror. Therefore, Rick received a lot of denunciation, criticism and denial.

Although Rick always said that he wanted to be a unique performer and performance artist, and he would not care about what others thought of him. But as the saying goes, people are not ruthless. Amidst these negative voices, Rick sometimes fell into confusion. Over time, Rick suffered from severe depression.

After Die Rapids starred in Lady Gaga’s music video, Rick’s reputation has grown. Later, he received many fashion shows and even movie roles. He gradually became famous internationally, and there are more and more roles. People can understand and appreciate Rick's uniqueness.

But on August 1, 2018, Rick, who was still popular, was found in his apartment. At that time, Rick was no longer breathing. Later, while mourning Rick, Lady Gaga also warned everyone to pay attention to mental health and to seek help from the outside world and family members if there is a problem.

This also confirms the fact that Rick died of depression and suicide. Rick was only 32 years old at the time of death, and he would celebrate his 33rd birthday in less than a week. But just a few days before his birthday, he chose to leave and bid farewell to this world forever, making countless people feel very sorry for him...

Depression has become the second most common disease in the world. , even the glamorous star models could not resist it. There was Leslie Cheung before him, and Qiao Renliang after him, and Rick Genest finally said goodbye to this world before his 33rd birthday due to severe depression.
