Aasimar: Scion of Humanity vs. Angelic Flesh?

[Joshua029]

The Scion of Humanity alternate racial trait states that the Aasimar doesn't have to make Disguise checks to appear human.
The Angelic Flesh feat imposes a -2 penalty on Disguise and Sneak checks.

So if an Aasimar has both, can he/she appear human without a Disguise check?
RAW seems to say that the character can, even though logically metallic skin would be a major tell.

And there you have your answer. You simply have to decide which takes precedence: RAW, or logic.

Alternate racial trait = you get it at character creation when you choose the race.

Feat = you get it after you have chosen the race.

So you are an apparently human creature whose "skin shines like burnished metal".
I suppose most people will think you are blessed/cursed/under the effect of some magic/have some unusual class. Probably you would not be recognized as a native outsider by a commoner, but people with knowledge planes probably can recognize what you are.

Like Diego Rossi said, you would look like a human with metallic skin rather than an aasimar with metallic skin. You wouldn't need a disguise check to look human, but you would need one to look like you didn't have metallic skin.

Thanks everyone!
