Am I wrong in doing this?

From one heavily inked guy to another, you totally aren't doing it wrong at all. Looking sharp feels good, y'know? And it's not as if you're wearing a powder blue tux to a backyard BBQ. Stopping in at a pub or coffee shop in a jacket and tie wouldn't even be looked at as unusual here in Portland, where casual is always the order of the day.

Whenever I see a guy with lots of tattoos who's dressed well, it makes my black little heart happy. As accepted as having a tattoo has become, if you have a lot of them many people will still give you side eye, like you're some kind of a scumbag. They see you as being less than them, and that extends to what they expect you to wear. I think of being well dressed as the best way to counter that attitude.
