Pats fan shows off his cool tattoo

Perhaps you’re familiar with Victor Thompson, a die-hard New England Patriots fan from Laconia, NH. Thompson, 39, is such a dedicated fan that he actually got the Pats logo tattooed across the side of his head. It’s very well done, and admittedly looks pretty darn cool.

But Thompson apparently isn’t going to stop there. He’s attracted enough attention with his unusual tattoo that he’s offering businesses to take out ad space on him. Yes–your company can display its finest products, logo, or an ad that will last a lifetime. Thompson was featured in ESPN’s magazine because of his Pats tattoo, so there’s definitely people out there who know him. Will he find business, though? Hey, $200 a square inch isn’t too bad a deal.

Of course, most Pats fans express their love for the team more conventionally: By buying sports tickets (ideally from Stubhub.com) and going to the game.
