Is it bad practice to place a bypass capacitor under its respective component?

I am designing a double layer board and in my layout I am running into problems. 

I want to keep the board as small as possible. But, but I should also be able to assemble it per hand. SoI made all my resistors and ceramic caps arecapacitors of 0805 of size. 

My problem is that I am running out of space with these dimensions for possible routing on the top layer. 

Since the bypass cap. needscapacitors need to have a low impedance path to the component I was thinking of placing these bypass capscapacitors directly under an icIC to save space. But wouldWouldn't that potentially introduce a parasitic element and disrupt the working of the chip? I have no idea. Any share of expertise on the matter would be appriciatedappreciated.
