sounds like you and I are in the same boat Tatted. while I don't dress "hip hop", my tattoos, and my physical appearance gives off what has been described by others who were "concerned that I was giving off the wrong appearence" as Biker, roughneck, redneck and a few other things.
personally, I say wear what you want. either way there will be people that won't accept the fact that you are carrying a gun. If I were looking for social acceptance, I would probably cover up my tattoos, be clean shaven, wear khakis and button up t-shirts ( with sleeves even) and of course, I wouldn't carry a gun.
but I am not looking for social acceptance when I carry, I'm looking for personal defense.

Darn! I guess I just need to go out and purchase myself an entirely new wardrobe if I even want to consider OCing. I guess that my wardrobe, which is mostly baggy clothes (not sagging pants that show my underwear, however) withloose fitting t-shirts, in addition to tattoo covered arms, carrying a full-size Glock 22,is not the image OCers should attempt to portray. Can't have anyone associating the "hip hop" look with OC, now can we?
