In X791, Gajeel wears a new version of his original black tunic that has a closed, light-grey opening running center of his torso, and wears a new grey belt, both without any studs. He also sports a distinctive wing-like ornament, seemingly made of feathers, jutting upwards, over his right shoulder, attached to his tunic by a large stud. Gajeel's usual outfit consists of a shabby, black, sleeveless tunic with studded edges, a studded belt around his waist, loose, beige pants tucked inside studded black boots, and a pair of studded brown gloves paired with similarly studded wristbands. Being a Dragon Slayer, Gajeel's canine teeth are distinctively sharper than normal. After joining Fairy Tail, his black Fairy Tail mark is located on his left arm, just below his shoulder. As a member of the former Phantom Lord Guild, he bore his Phantom Lord mark at the top of his right shoulder. He also sports four studs on each of his forearms, with his right one being covered in scars. His ears are adorned by two sets of five earrings each. The most visible studs are on his face, with three of them above each of his eyes (acting as "eyebrows" of sorts), two on each side of his nose (sometimes mistakenly three in the anime), and two on his chin, just below his mouth. Most of his exposed body is covered in sets of simple, round studs. He has red eyes (initially portrayed as green) with slitted dark pupils, and has no visible eyebrows. Gajeel is a tall and muscular young man with long, spiky black hair, which is usually kept slicked back, revealing his forehead.
