Melanie Griffith hides her Antonio Banderas tattoo post split

'Thirst' star Melanie Griffith stepped out in LA wearing a 'Mel' bandage to cover up her Antonio Banderas heart tattoo.

The 56-year-old actress has been slowly removing her inking since announcing her split from Banderas after 18 years of marriage last month, reported Us magazine.

Griffith first covered the tattoo with make-up at the 2014 Taormina Film Festival in Italy on June 17.
