By 19 he was committed to his full body tattoo project and stayed loyal to Montreal artist Frank Lewis, who designed the majority of his body over the next six years.
To date Genest has spent over $17,000.00 on tattooing his body and will continue until his tapestry is finished.
In this moment, he has serendipitously become the ‘it’ muse for anyone who believes in a brave new world without judgment.
His international thrust into the spotlight is a true rags to riches story.
Nicola Formichetti, Lady Gaga’s personal stylist and the creative director of the legendary Paris based fashion house Theirry Mugler, was instantly fascinated.
The two clicked instantly and Formichetti invited Genest to Paris to model in the Mugler men’s fashion show.
Formichetti then cast Genest in his biggest role to date; a pronounced cameo in Lady Gaga’s video ‘Born This Way’ filmed in New York City.

His relationship with Formichetti has him pose for such magazines as GQ, Vanity Fair and Vogue Hommes Japan, as well as a collaboration with the juggernaut of the fashion photography world – the renowned —L’Enfant terrible Terry Richardson.
And also the fashion magazine shooted him:
