Melanie Griffith, 57, displays all-but-gone tattoo tribute to estranged husband Antonio Banderas as she shows off her legs in a flirty summer dress
She announced her split from Antonio Banderas last June, and almost a year later, it looks like Melanie Griffith's 'permanent' mark of their love is gone.
The 57-year-old actress famously had her ex-partner's name tattooed on her upper arm inside a heart, but the inking has been slowly fading since they announced their impending divorce.
The mother-of-three showed off her nearly-gone tattoo and gym-honed legs in a black dress with red and white dots as she stepped out in West Hollywood on Wednesday.

Memories fade: Melanie Griffith appears to have almost completely removed her Antonio tattoo, showing off a nearly clean upper arm in West Hollywood on Wednesday
Melanie, who is set to star in new ABC sitcom The Brainy Bunch, wore her long blonde hair up in a Brigitte Bardot-style bun and added to her retro look with a pair of 1950s sunglasses.
The actress looked years younger than her 57, showing off both cleavage and legs in the cute, summery dress and black flats.
Shortly after they announced the break-up, Melanie began using make-up to cover the Antonio love-heart tattoo, which she had inked on her right arm in honor of her third, soon-to-be ex-husband Banderas.
However, recent photographs of Melanie appears to confirm that she has been under-going painful laser treatments to phase out the love gesture.
Then and now: The 57-year-old actress, pictured left in 2004, has been slowly but surely erasing her inking of her former partner's name on her upper arm
