Consider this the last chapter in the Jerry Springer-esque marriage between Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton. Jolie showed up at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards (BAFTA) ceremony sporting a "Billy Bob"-less arm.

Angelina showed off her left upper arm that once featured a tattoo of her ex-husband's name. What appears in the photo as a poor alteration in Adobe Photoshop is actually the work of apparent laser surgery to restore the inked flesh.

Jolie did choose to keep the dragon which she had before the addition of "Billy Bob" above it. The ink-loving Angelina also has a number of other tattoos, including on her inner arm, wrist, lower back, shoulder blade, and lower abdomen.

The couple were married in Las Vegas three years ago. She filed for divorce last summer citing irreconcilable differences.
