HAMPTON, Va. (WAVY) - Tattoos could help crack cold cases for the Norfolk Medical Examiner's office.
Investigators set up a booth at the Tattoo Arts Festival in Hampton this weekend.
They brought pictures of sculptures of unidentified people, and of the tattoos found on their respective bodies. The hope is someone in the tattoo community will recognize one of the pictures.
"We were hoping to come to the convention and present these tattoos in hopes that one of the artists might recognize the tattoo as being one of theirs," said Paul Yoakam, an investigator with the Medical Examiner's Office. "Or, an individual might recognize the particular tattoo on the person."
Some of the cases are 30 years old.
The festival continues Sunday from noon to 8 p.m. at the Hampton Roads Convention Center in Hampton.
