DA: 'Several Promising Responses' In Search For Hernandez Tattoo Artists

BOSTON (CBS) – Investigators said on Thursday that they have already received "several promising responses" following their appeal to track down any tattoo artists who may have worked on former Patriot Aaron Hernandez after a double murder in Boston's South End.

The District Attorney's office said they are optimistic that can track down the artist or artists who gave Hernandez specific tattoos on his right forearm between February 2012 and June 2013.

They say those artists are not suspects, and not accused of any wrongdoing, but rather are considered witnesses.

In December 2011, Hernandez spoke about his tattoos with WBZ-TV's Steve Burton during Patriots Game Day, telling Burton that, "They've all got a lot of meaning."
