To me the easiest way to know if something is cultural appropriation or not is to ask a simple question: Did you earn it? The best example of this I can think of off the top of my head are "Tribal" tattoos, most people get them because they look cool but amongst the indigenous Pacific Islanders that invented the style they are earned, each drop of ink is an expression of the wearer's achievements and lifestyle that is practically its own language. If there's any aspect of the thing that requires earning it, say performing a rite of passage or doing a religious ceremony, and then someone from another culture tosses it on because it looks cool it's appropriation in my book. Otherwise go nuts, just try to be respectful.
