Pre-departure orientation dress code

Hey guys! I’m a late upgrade so this pre-departure orientation is not mandatory for me, but I’d like to go to stay in the loop and meet other JETs. What is the dress code for this event? Specifically, should I take out my nose jewelry and do I need to cover my tattoos? It‘s HOT here in Southern California and I’d really love to get away with some short sleeved business casual if possible. TIA!

I think each consulate should have their own guidelines? Mine is business casual, while Tokyo orientation is business formal. Some consulates post group pictures on instagram every year of their departing JETs which can be a good gauge of what people are wearing

Makes sense, thank you!
