A New Hampshire man is making ends meet in tough economic times by selling his skin.

  • Slideshow: See Thompson's Pats Tattoo
  • Victor Thompson, 39, of Laconia, N.H., is selling his skin as billboard space for $200 per square inch.

    Thompson said the tattoos are a smart move for companies because with a one-time fee, the tattoo is a lifetime advertisement.

    Thompson, an unemployed restaurant worker, launched TattMeToo.com with his agent and business partner, Josh Youssef, a New Hampshire computer store owner, the Boston Herald reported.

    Thompson, who is in the process of tattooing his skull to look like a New England Patriots helmet, said "tattoos are my life."

    Thompson's wife, Barbara, said she supports her husband despite her initial reservations.

    Thompson said TruTv has already bought space on his back and will tape the tattooing. They have not yet scheduled a date.
