Aaron Hernandez back in court, now sporting a gang-related neck tattoo image

On Wednesday, former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was back in court for a pretrial hearing for his upcoming double-murder trial, and Hernandez was spotted sporting a plain white T-shirt and some fresh neck ink.

Hernandez was found guilty of the murder of Odin Lloyd on April 15, and has been in a Massachusetts Correctional Facility serving out his life-sentence. But, while appearing in court for the double-murder of Daniel Correia and Safiro Furtado, Hernandez had a new tattoo on his neck, one that is only given to members and supporters of the "Bloods" gang.

While we aren't exactly experts on gang-related tattoos, the five-pointed star is a common prison tattoo for people who are affiliated with the "Bloods", one of the infamous gangs in the country.
