Mike Tyson’s Tattoo Artist Sues Warner Brothers Over Tattoo In Hangover Pt. 2
The man who gave Mike Tyson his distinctive facial tattoo has sued Warner Bros. over the similar-looking facial art on Ed Helms’ character in the upcoming The Hangover: Part II.
S. Victor Whitmill, an award-winning tattoo artist who calls the Tyson design “one of the most distinctive tattoos in the nation,” is asking for an injunction to stop the release of the highly-anticipated comedy sequel, set to bow in the U.S. over Memorial Day weekend.
“When Mr. Whitmill created the Original Tattoo, Mr Tyson agreed that Mr. Whitmill would own the artwork and thus, the copyright in the Original Tattoo,” argues the complaint, filed Thursday in federal court in Missouri and obtained by THR. “Warner Bros. Entertainment, Inc.—without attempting to contact Mr. Whitmill, obtain his permission, or credit his creation—has copied Mr. Whitmill’s Original Tattoo and placed it on the face of another actor…This unauthorized exploitation of the Original Tattoo constitutes copyright infringement.”
Warners declined to comment on the suit.

Where Will OFWGKTA Sign
Everyone is trying to get a piece of Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All (OFWGKTA). The New York Post reported this morning that Diddy, Jay-Z, Interscope’s Jimmy Iovine and SRC’s Steve Rifkind are all trying to sign the buzzworthy Los Angeles group.
According to sources close to The Post, Rifkind—known for signing Wu-Tang Clan, Big Pun and Akon, among others—is close to making a formal offer. But in order for him to meet with the young up-and-comers, crew leader Tyler, the Creator demanded: “If you are serious about the meeting, I want Randy’s Donuts, swivel chairs and a megaphone.”
OFWGKTA had Diddy set up a meeting with them and pop star Justin Bieber. “Tyler asked Diddy for access to Justin, so he pulled strings.” A rep for Odd Future told The Post, “Tyler did meet with Justin, and Diddy helped make it happen.”
As previously reported, Tyler signed a one-album solo deal with XL Recordings. His first retail disc, Goblin is set to come out on May 10, while OF sub-group MellowHype featuring Hodgy Beats and Left Brain, has their BlackenedWhite sophomore LP being re-released this summer thru Fat Possum. —Elan Mancini
