The descent from Super Bowl-finalist to prison gangster is complete: Aaron Hernandez reveals full 'Bloods' tattoo during appearance for his double-murder trial
- Aaron Hernandez, 26, was in court for a pre-trial appearance in his upcoming double-murder case on Tuesday
- He was wearing a T-shirt that showed off his full 'Bloods' tattoo he received in May, which says 'LIFETIME LOYALTY' and has a skull and spider web
- Hernandez is set to go to trial next year accused of killing Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado after Abreu spilled a drink on him in 2012
- He is already serving a lifetime sentence after being convicted of the murder of Odin Lloyd in April
Aaron Hernandez was back in court on Tuesday for a pre-trial appearance in his upcoming double-murder case, and was photographed in a crewneck T-shirt that showed the full extent of the Bloods tattoo he received in prison earlier this year.
The tattoo says 'LIFETIME' up top, which refers to either his lifetime sentence after being found guilty of murdering Odin Lloyd or his lifetime commitment to a gang.
The five-point star below that is a sign of the Bloods gang, which has led many to believe it is indeed gang-related.
What had not been seen before were the words 'LOYALTY' which are written below 'LIFETIME'.
There is also a photo of a skull and spider web at the bottom of the tattoo.

Hernandez is set to go to trial next year accused of killing Daniel Abreu and Safiro Furtado after Abreu spilled a drink on him at a Boston nightclub in 2012.
The men were in their car at a traffic light when they were executed with a .38 caliber revolver.
Hernandez is alleged to have said after the killings: 'I think I got one in the head and one in the chest.'
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The 26 year old got in trouble earlier this month as well when he was caught with a shank inside his cell at the Souza Baranowski Correctional Center in Shirley, Massachusetts.
The former New England Patriots tight end, who appeared in the 2012 Super Bowl, had signed a $40million deal for five seasons shortly before he was arrested for the murder of Lloyd.
He was convicted in April for that murder and the next month received his tattoo.
Getting a tattoo is illegal in prison but it is not clear how, or if, he was punished for the infraction.
