The more we read about Casey Anthony's trial, where she is accused of murdering daughter Caylee, the more horrified we become. The latest detail disturbing those of us following the case is the "Bella Vita" tattoo that Casey had inked while she claimed to be searching for her missing child.A tattoo artist testified that Casey asked for the tat on July 2, 2008. While he was inking her, Anthony told the artist about her daughter Caylee, saying that the child was with a nanny. Casey made a second appointment for July 19 -- promising to bring Caylee into the shop then. Casey never made it to the appointment - Caylee was finally reported missing on July 15.
"Bella Vita," of course, means "Beautiful Life" in Italian -- Lindsay Lohan has one just like Casey's. The question is, then, if Casey got the tat as a tribute to her missing daughter, or as a nod to her new freedom without the child.
25-year-old Casey has pleaded not guilty to murdering 2-year-old Caylee, claiming that her daughter drowned in her parents' pool. The prosecution contends that Caylee died after her mother suffocated her.

They have it all wrong.
She would probably love to say the tatoo is a tribute to her daughter's after life. Since George is the one who supposedly disposed of the body.
the tattoo says 'la bella vita', not bella vita by itself.
Should be la vita bella, not la bella vita. It is the equivalent of saying "It's a life beautiful."... Moron tattooed a misprint. Is there a discount for that?
Sometimes I have to turn the t.v. off when I see her. Why?? Because when I look at her she makes me sick to my stomach. She thinks she's hot!! But "hot" she'not!!! She is a cold-blooded baby killer.
"la vita bella" is italian slang for "the good life". . . meaning, she was enjoying her freedom and independence in life without her daughter. of course she is NOW saying that she meant it to be "the beautiful life" . . . WHATEVER CASEY! Lies, Lies, Lies.
Guilty as Hell, and there will be Hell to pay. She is such a cold-blooded frigin' loser. How anyone could kill, let alone harm a child is totally inconceiveable,the ***** deserves to die.......
I've been following this case since it first started. This woman is so unbelievable!!! I think she is guilty but I also DO believe that her father sexually molested her. That family is NUTS and has a lot of hidden elements that add to this case. Even her brother, Lee, was tested to see if he wad Caley's father. How GROSS!!!!
My daughters missing. I guess I'll go get a tattoo. Who the heck in there right mind could do anything but look for there child when they are missing. I would be out pounding the streets.
i thought she acted awful strange during the search for her daughter i have a son that is the same age that caylee would be if it was my child i would not be out partying and getting inked she is inocent until proven guilty be i think she had something to do with the death of her daughter
Umm, Jesse - there is no "la" on her tattoo. Look it up.
Dirty skank has another kind of needle waiting for her. Right in her arm.
