Victor "The Patriot" Thompson
New England Patriots Fan, Laconia, NH
You have a New England Patriots helmet tattooed your head. Does that make you the biggest Pats fan in the world?
Well, it should. I've never met anyone who's come close to me. People paint their faces and stuff, but I've never known anyone to put Tom Brady's helmet on their head—permanently.
Do you deserve anything from the Patriots for all this free publicity?
My face is for sale at $1,000 an inch. If they want to pay for the facemask, I wouldn't complain. Also, I've never been to a game, so if they want to help me out there, that'd be fine with me.
You have a Patriots helmet tattooed on your head and you've never been to a game?
No. I only watch them on TV.
What does your wife think?
She loves it. She's a tattoo enthusiast herself. She wasn't too excited about the facemask at first, but she's come around to it.
You're also selling tattoos of anything on your body for $200 per square inch?
It's starting at $200 per inch for businesses that want to advertise their logos on my body. I'm taking offers at tattmetoo.com. And I get all my tattoos done at House of Tattoos in Laconia, New Hampshire.
Let me throw out a few tattoos and see if you'd get these tattooed on your body. A red heart with Peyton and Eli Manning hugging in the middle?
If it was paid for, it would be there. A newspaper won't shoot advertisers down, and neither would I. Even if Eli wanted to pay for something on my body, I'd let it be there.
The lyrics to the Chicago Bears' "Super Bowl Shuffle"?
Yeah, definitely.

making out?
If they want it there and pay for it, they can get it. But I wouldn't do it if they were making out. I'd put Belichick on my thigh, though.
If Tom Brady or Bill Belichick were in a burning building and you could only save one of them, which one would you save?
I'd save them both. I'd find a way to do it.
