Just because Victor Thompson’s life is on hold as he awaits trial on drug charges, doesn’t mean he can’t plan for the future.
So, what is the serious New England Patriots fan’s next move?
He’s hoping to finish up the Tom Brady helmet he has tattooed on his head with a facemask, eye black and perhaps even a signature from the star quarterback himself, according to Fox News.

Thompson has made headlines off and on since he began a journey to have Brady’s helmet tattooed on his head. Back in his native New Hampshire, he made the news, managed to get shown in a commercial and was even able to snag Randy Moss’ signature on his head, which he had a tattoo artist go over to make permanent.
The elaborate tattoo currently includes the Pat’s logo, the Lombardi Trophy, the Riddell logo, Moss’ John Hancock and a green dot that indicates wireless communication. But, it’s far from finished, Thompson says.

“I’d like to get Brady and (head coach Bill) Belichick to sign my head, really,” he told Fox during a recent jailhouse interview.
Thompson was jailed Sept. 10 after St. Petersburg Police found him in possession of “Master Kush” spice. The synthetic drug is illegal in Florida.
Thompson came to St. Petersburg following the death of his wife, Barbara, and had only been in the area a short time before his arrest.
As for when that tattoo might be completed, it’s unclear. He remained in the Pinellas County Jail Wednesday in lieu of $1,500 bond on a charge of possession of a hallucinogenic substance.
