Imagine the picture of me at the beginning of this thread, with a silver nose stud and a small, decorative semi-moon on the back of the neck.
I don't think I've ever seen that exact combination before, but here's the thing: Just this last month I've seen girls with orange, red, indigo and blue hair. I've seen them with hair dyed black, with dreadlocks of fake purple hair woven in together with bits of white cloth. I've seen them with pierced lips, noses, ears and so forth. And all the pierced ones had jewelry made from silver or chromed surgical steel (it looked like), some with what was probably polished bits of glass or zirconium at the tip of studs. (Whatever happened to stuff made of gold or something?)
I've seen women with suns and moons and roses tattooed. In short, I've seen all the addons you have or are interested in, although not at once, as far as I can recall. And to be honest, after a while all of them with their artificial hair colours and their generic piercings sort of start to blend together. So if I'd seen you walk past me on the street, you'd just have been one among many, as far as those aspects of your personal style went.
So (again) in short, I'd not consider you unique in that respect.
But this is here and that is there. Maybe people in Britain don't look that way.
Purely aesthetically, tho', it's all right. And you aren't supposed to do it just to be different anyways, so who cares if some people look like you.
I have to say, though, that the hair alone, without piercings, tattoos and no more make-up than what you are wearing on that photo (if anything) would probably make me, personally, notice you more. Sometimes, it feels as if all the things a lot of the ones I described put on take away the person behind them, if that makes sense, and that's what lends them that sameness.
