Look, just because I look dead doesn't mean I am. You can't copy my idea, or placement of my tattoos just because you think they look really cool. It took some time to consider these designs. You can read all about my inspiration for them here.
Before cleaning up for the runway, I was like any other guy who's wild at heart having fun with my buddies and listening to punk music. Then I had this idea that really took off. Like all good ideas, people try to copy them, but I was really the only person with enough balls to actually do it. And I had my design coyrighted, which basically means I have exclusive rights.
So when FOX television's American Horror Story featured a student made-up in full skeletal paint, mimicing my own tattoos, of course I got annoyed. First, my idea was copyrighted. Second, said student went on a shooting spree prior to killing himself. Not exactly the type of person or character I want to be associated with.
So back off and create your own Zombie style tattoos.
Said Zombie Boy- to the judge- prior to coming to agreeable terms with FOX.
Score one for Rick!
