Tribal Face Tattoo In Hangover 2 To Be Digitally Altered For DVD Version
Posted on Thu Jun 9, 2011 11:35 AM PDT
Ed Helms' face tattoo in The Hangover 2 has been the subject of controversy after tattoo artist S. Victor Whitmill claimed Warner Bros. used the image without his permission. The tribal tattoo was originally given to Mike Tyson back in 2003.
Although a judge ruled that the movie's theatrical release won't be postponed due to tattoo drama, the court has ruled that Warner Bros. must digitally alter the face tat when the movie goes to DVD.
Whitmill filed his lawsuit against the studio back in April alleging the studio knowingly exercised copyright infringement.
Read what Whitmill said in his lawsuit ... after the jump.
In his lawsuit against Warner Bros., S. Victor Whitmill says:
- "Warner Bros. does not intend to make any use of the allegedly infringing tattoo after the film ends its run in the theaters because Warner Bros. will digitally alter the film to substitute a different tattoo on Ed Helms’s face."

Dude should take it as a complement that his tattoo was in the movie like that. No one sees Mike Tyson enough to remember his tattoo like that but the Hangover II a kick @ss moive people will remember. Who knows might be someone just as crazy as him to get a tattoo like that..lol.
