1 Corinthians 3:17 KJV

If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

And later, in 6:19-20 KJV

19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

And then you have Leviticus 19:28 still KJV

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

Of course, that was talking about Paganistic practices. So I'm pretty sure that falls under such things as "You can use the sword in service of Satan, but you can also use it in the service of God." but that's just me.
John 15: 12-14 also tells us to love one another, as Jesus loved us. Somehow, I don't think that judging somebody by their appearance is loving them. Especially when they can not throw stones, as no one is without sin.

Your look might even help you evangelize certain groups of people; I'm sure many non-Christians would be happy to meet someone who's not a legalistic hypocrite. I am not trying to tell you your calling, but pointing out that our apparent weaknesses can be His strength. Every person has a unique individual purpose here, and God will tailor you to it in amazing ways.

What, exactly, "looks Christian"? I dress and look the way I like. I'm not going to change myself for people because they're ignorant and choose to remain that way. The Lord sees me for who I truly am, and that's all I need.

there is no way to "look" christian. my athiest friend wears the "Jesus" cloaths because they are comfy. Christians have no "look" and we while we shouldnt conform to the world, we shouldnt have to compromise ourselves to be accepted by the Church

I believe in God but I like to rock out and play air guitar in my room like a lot of other 17 year olds. As for the tats and piercings, I don't even have my ears peirced (my choice not because of any biblical reason) and I hate tatoos. I don't think God's really gonna care what color your hair is when you're in heaven.
