Jimmy Butler is sporting a new emo-inspired look as his team prepares to open a new season. The Miami Heat forward showed off his straightened hair at media day on Oct. 2.

The 34-year-old athlete rocked lip and nose piercings, along with painted fingernails, the Associated Press reported.

“This is my emo state, and I like this. This is me. This is how I’m feeling as of late,” Butler told reporters at the event, per the Miami Herald. “I mean, I never know how I’m going to wake up in the morning. So this is how I feel today, and we’ll see tomorrow.”
