ORLANDO, Fla. – A judge will allow prosecutors to go into the Orange County Jail to take photos of Casey Anthony's tattoo.
In a previously filed motion the prosecution requested to take photographs of a tattoo on Anthony's shoulder.

Tattoo artist Danny Colomarino told investigators he gave Anthony the tattoo, which says "La Vita Bella," meaning the beautiful life, in early July 2008, two weeks after her daughter, Caylee Anthony, went missing.
The prosecution said they need the picture for their case.
Although the tattoo does not prove anything, it verifies that Anthony visited the tattoo shop. Colomarino said Anthony never mentioned her child was visit.
"It just blows me away how calm of a demeanor she had, and openly talked about her kid. And you know, knowing what I know now, there was no emotion," Colomarino said.
Strickland said an Orange County deputy can go into the jail to take the photo of Anthony's tattoo.
Judge Stan Strickland made the ruling on Monday, the same day he scheduled a new hearing in the Anthony case.
Four motions will be heard Friday, Aug. 21, including a defense motion to certify Tim Miller as a material witness. Tim Miller is the founder and director of Texas Equusearch, a search group involved in the search for Caylee.
Caylee's body was found by a meter reader in a wooded area in east Orlando in December after a five-month search.
The defense is also asking Strickland to bar Leonard Padilla, Tony Padilla, Robert Dick and Tracy McLaughlin from testifying for the state.
The defense said the four had an attorney-client relationship with Casey Anthony.
Leonard Padilla is the bounty hunter who initially bonded Anthony out of jail last summer.
Casey Anthony's defense is also asking that her check forgery case be delayed until after her murder trial and that the subpoena for her ex-boyfriend, Tony Lazarro, be quashed.
Meanwhile, Caylee's grandparents marked what would have been the child's fourth birthday by releasing balloons on Sunday
George and Cindy Anthony released the balloons at a ceremony held at Eastside Baptist Church in Orlando.
Caylee was 2 years old when she was reported missing in July 2008, about a month after she was last seen alive.
Casey Anthony, 23, remains jailed on first-degree murder charges in the death of her daughter. Casey Anthony has pleaded not guilty.
The state attorney's office on Friday released new documents in the case, including photographs and a 3-D movie of the wooded area where Caylee's remains were discovered. The documents also showed that no blood was found in the trunk of Casey Anthony's car.
Within the past two weeks, George and Cindy Anthony, and Casey's brother, Lee Anthony, were deposed by prosecutors in the case.
