Appearance
The Squid Hairclip is a small barrette with the "S" from the Splatoon logo on it, including with the gray bubble pattern at the bottom, and with a pair of Inkling-like eyes at the top. Like the rest of the school gear, the Squid Hairclip's appearance changes based on the wearer's gender. If worn by a female, it is worn to the left of the bangs, and if worn by a male, it is worn on the band with which his tentacles are pulled back.
With the addition of hairstyle choices in Splatoon 2, the Squid Hairclip may be positioned differently depending on the wearer's style. It is generally worn on the left side of the head, with placement varying slightly between each style. However, for the two male styles in which the tentacles are pulled back, the Squid Hairclip is worn on the band used to do so. This does not occur for the two female styles in which the tentacles are pulled back.
For all female styles, the metal fastener of the Squid Hairclip is visible; for all male styles, it is absent.
