I personally think that his appearance would distract from his message.
I have to seriously wonder about somebody that would disfigure himself in that manner. I believe it strongly contradicts the "moderation/modesty" principle that's taught so clearly throughout scripture.
Personally, I wouldn't care to have someone who looks like that on the platform. He would definitely be an example of how a Christian ought NOT to look rather than the other way around and I'd hate for other young people to look to him as a role model and find excuse why it would be okay for them to disfigure themselves even if it was to a much much lesser degree.
