They have also been noted for their visual aesthetics coinciding with visual kei, with Baki wearing white face paint inspired by Kiss and Tatsu having red hair. Musicians such as Hide, Hyde, and Hakuei of Penicillin have cited Gastunk as an influence or expressed admiration for them. Morrie cited how Baki alternated between distorted and clean vocals from one song to the next as influencing him in establishing his own vocal style.
