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...

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.
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.
