The way you present yourself is important. Even care-free startups expect you to have clean clothes and comb your hair on occasion. You're expected to have a semblance of caring about your appearance. If you don't look like you care, then inferences are made that you don't care about your work either.
It's also not just about what the employer thinks, but their potential clients. Depending on the job you may those clients, or an investor, or other external person, walk through the offices. The way individuals look leaves an impression.
Personally I find piercings and tattoos accentuate a style, this can be either good or bad. Bad tattoos likely create a negative impression as well -- on the assumption that you do rash things without considering the consequences. Good tattoos can show a commitment and consideration of one's self.
Please, don't be one of those people that play with their piercings! Nor come in with a fresh tattoo or piercing -- yeah this happens -- show some sense in timing new acquisitions.
