Aaron Hernandez debuted a new “Lifetime” neck tattoo today that is fresh ink since receiving a life sentence for the death of Odin Lloyd. That sure looks like a Cowboys logo to me.
In court to face charges of witness intimidation, which included shooting a guy in the face, Aaronthal pleaded not guilty to that charge. Not that any of this matters. He’s never getting out of a Massachusetts cell so this is all just a formality and a chance to show off new ink.
CorrectionsOne.com has a great guide on what prison tats mean, including those that represent an extended stay in prison like tear drops. We’ll just go ahead and assume Aaronthal is resigned to the fact that he’s a lifer who might as well get ink that will be seen on TV.
According to WCVB, getting the tattoo is a no-no.
“Being tattooed while incarcerated, tattooing another or possessing tattoo paraphernalia and/or body piercing,” is a violation of the department’s official rules.
At the time of a recent prison fight where Hernandez was acting as a lookout, prison officials discovered tattoos on Hernandez and that he had access to some sort of ink, a source told 5 Investigates.
The punishment, according to the department’s manual, is a loss of privileges or extra duty. The department had no comment on any disciplinary action taken against Hernandez.
And none of this should come as a surprise. He’s 25, spending the rest of his life in jail and has free time on his hands. Aaronthal needs to keep busy.
