Casey Anthony’s tattoo could become part of the case against her. Fox 35 spoke to the artist who gave her the marking.
The tattoo artists name is Bobby Williams. And he gave Casey Anthony a tattoo with the word’s Bella Vita on her left shoulder. Bella vita means beautiful life.
Williams knew that and didn't think twice about it. He says Casey came in and was there for about an hour. She was very normal and most of the time he was doing her tattoo she was on the phone with her then boyfriend Tony Lazzaro.
To put this in perspective, Caylee was last seen on June 16, 2008. Williams said Casey never mentioned her daughter Caylee or that she was missing. He did not learn that until he heard about Casey's arrest on the news, and now looking back. “It’s definitely, definitely strange now that you put two and two together and the child's missing and she comes in and gets something like that. And acts totally normal? Yeah, like nothing happened. It’s like is it because she's living a beautiful life or beautiful life because her daughter is missing.”
Williams says most customers since then have asked him while they're getting tattooed about Casey Anthony and the now infamous Bella Vita tattoo. He thinks it’s weird that a picture of that tattoo is now becoming part of the file in a murder case against his former client.
