She's in the home stretch!

On Friday afternoon Melanie Griffith hit the gym, and afterwards she stopped by the Epione skincare clinic to have a laser treatment to remove her Antonio tattoo. We've spotted her after a number of sessions over the last 8 months, so this has to be one of her last ones! While she was with soon-to-be ex-hubby Antonio Banderas for 18 years, it has to feel pretty good to start with a clean slate ... and without a cheesy tattoo that serves as a constant reminder of him.

Melanie filed for divorce from Antonio last June, citing irreconcilable differences. Last we heard, she was asking for spousal support and custody of the couple's daughter Stella, but seeing as Stella is now 18, that's obviously not an issue anymore. And we're not sure what went wrong, but in a recent interview, Antonio had nothing but nice things to say about his estranged wife.

While promoting his new sci-fi film Automata on the Spanish TV show El Hormiguero, Antonio said, "It's been an intense year... Life goes on. I admire and respect for Melanie first and foremost as a great actress. I have always said that. That's why she's in the movie ... And she's also the person that I loved, that I love and will always love."
