Hernandez, 25, was in a brawl involving two other inmates, according to [ABC News](http://abcnews.go.com/US/aaron-hernandez-allegedly-involved-prison-fight-law-enforcement/story?id=31144864 "undefined"). “It was two-on-one, he was part of the two,” a prison official told the news agency. Another source said that the ex-NFL star beat a man in his cell and that the incident was gang related. “The victim in the fight was some absolute nobody. He was just trying to show he’s down with the Bloods, a scared man looking at life in prison,” the source told ABC news. The former NFL player was photographed Thursday with a new tattoo on his neck – a five-point star that says “Lifetime,” which may be a symbol of the Bloods gang. Hernandez is serving [a life sentence](http://www.people.com/article/aaron-hernandez-prison-life-description "undefined") without parole for the murder of 27-year-old Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancée. He will also go on trial for a double murder that took place outside of a Boston nightclub in 2012\. He has pleaded not guilty. _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/aaron-hernandez-tattoo-prison-fight "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://people.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3893542/aaron-hernandez-prison-tattoo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3893542/aaron-hernandez-prison-tattoo/"},"headline":"Aaron Hernandez Shows New 'Lifetime' Tattoo After Reported Prison Fight","datePublished":"2015-05-22T01:26:16.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T07:33:24.409Z","description":"He's serving a life sentence without parole for the murder of Odin Lloyd","url":"https://time.com/3893542/aaron-hernandez-prison-tattoo/","keywords":["Prison"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5200e91bd02fec62/69885143f887dc0616e9097d/aaron-hernandez.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sheila Cosgrove Baylis / People"}],"articleSection":"U.S.","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5200e91bd02fec62/69885143f887dc0616e9097d/aaron-hernandez.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Sporting a new neck tattoo, former New England Patriots NFL football player Aaron Hernandez sits at the defense table during his arraignment on a charge of trying to silence a witness in a double murder case against him by shooting the man in the face at","caption":"Sporting a new neck tattoo, former New England Patriots NFL football player Aaron Hernandez sits at the defense table during his arraignment on a charge of trying to silence a witness in a double murder case against him by shooting the man in the face at","creditText":"Stephan Savoia—AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/us/","name":"U.S."}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/prison/","name":"Prison"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3893542/aaron-hernandez-prison-tattoo/","name":"Aaron Hernandez Shows New 'Lifetime' Tattoo After Reported Prison Fight"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Know Right Now: Aaron Hernandez Found Guilty","description":"Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison Wednesday in the deadly late-night shooting of Odin Lloyd.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/orbsacnG/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-04-15T16:09:27.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/orbsacnG.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/3893542/aaron-hernandez-prison-tattoo/","duration":"PT1M1S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/3893542/aaron-hernandez-prison-tattoo/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
