    I lived in Wales for a year a few years back. Actually colored hair was way more common over there when I was there. Even in older adults.

    Had teachers with pink hair in their 60s.

    Tattoos also more common. I recall one of the professors lookee like a Goth girl. She also gave me mediocre grades on everything I submitted to her. 😅

    Septum piercing. Always wore black. And long jet black hair. She also told us how to pirate research papers and textbooks on day one. In a power point.

    Idk. The culture there was just more chill about alternative style. At least while I was there.

    I was in Swansea.

      maybe it’s Wales, maybe it’s just academia. smart people are usually capable of figuring out that self expression no matter how eccentric is harmless and simply brings colour to the world
