    In New Hampshire, you’re in the minority if you don’t have tattoos. I’ve got a lot less judgmental than I used to be. Mostly because a lot of these folks will outwork the southerners hands down. They don’t look for the easy way to do a job like southerners, they look for the cheapest way that works. If it requires twice the manual labor no big deal.

    I would never be able to compete with a cold weather Yankee on their home turf, but I bet y'all would die hand loading square bales onto a trailer in 105 degree heat. And we drink beer while doing it. I've got some good Yankee friends. I still give them #### for being born north of the Red River though.

    Lol I lived in Arkansas up until around 2 years ago so I don’t feel like a yankee yet. These guys amaze me tho. 70 year old guys with a chainsaw can outwork me and I’m 35.

    I have no tattoo's, despite spending 14 years in uniform. I don't judge anyone based on tattoo's. However, I do find them ugly and an insult to the human body.
    So while I don't judge a person good or bad based on whether or not they chose to deface their own skin, it's probably not a good idea to ask me what I think of your tat. I won't offer my opinion myself, but if you ask, I will be honest, and you won't like my answer.
