Not too keen on unnatural hair colors. At least not for the setting.

Stay tuned for more complaints.

If I'm honest I'm not too keen on bright unnatural dyed hair colors being possible either because it doesn't really seem to fit the world's lore. However, I know a lot of people do want this but even more so it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make for the sake of having more customization in general because we have more natural options now as well. The moment that someone at SE has to decide what colors are permissible and what aren't in lieu of providing a full color palette, that's when we end up with the somewhat limited choices of 1.x. The best I can do is just make my own character look natural.

I'll spare everyone a diatribe on my opinion of the cutesy tattoos.... I'll just say I really don't like them but I know that seems to be a minority opinion....

But I am 500 million percent thrilled for all the new and longer hairstyles (for both genders), the sliders, and the overall increase in player diversity that shall follow it.

I'm with you on that. I'm not a fan of tattoos period. I personally think they ruin a person's natural beauty.

I'm fine with all the customization in the world, as long as it stays within the confines of the believability of the world you create. Make the tone mesh well enough with the aesthetics you already have, or you're going to get a disjointed art style.
Aion had this problem:

But thankfully we are a far step from that extreme. I just hope the hair color remains at least in a semi believable tone.

Makeup however, does look trashy pretty much no matter what. I also am not a big fan of the tattoos either.

Suddenly i want to be able to put tattoos elsewhere.... mind out of the gutter you guys! I mean the back of my hands then i could call my fists Choco and Boko. =P

I agree, being able to place tattoos on maybe neck, arms or hands would be awesome. This is maybe taking it to far but have a "temporary" tattoo to show your allegiance to a linkshell. >.>

I'm cool with the tribal and similar tats. I wouldn't use them on my own character and I don't care for tats much IRL either, but they can fit the game lore as a sort of war paint type idea. But the chickabo and stars... I don't want to run around the game surrounded by middle-school level fashion...

Wow, is that image disturbing. Yes, indeed, thank the Twelve we are nowhere near that. I'll disagree to a point about makeup though. The best makeup you won't even notice it's there without a side-by-side comparison. Loud, overt makeup not so much: it takes very special skill and circumstances to pull that off.

Then why bother? Our characters don't age, they have no blemishes. There's not much that can/needs to be brought out in our complexion, we're kinda designed to have perfect skin from the start. Maybe a little lipstick, I know a lot of people are into bold lips, but the distant levels we get for most of this is just unnecessary.

I do hope they have a salon of sorts so people can change mistakes and not lose their characters.
