The Hangover Part 2 is to release on DVD and Blu-Ray in December, but Ed Helms' face may look a little different. Warner Bros. Studios told a Missouri judge that if they cannot come to a settlement with tattoo artist S. Victor Whitmill by the time the film is set release on DVD and Blu-Ray then they will alter the tattoo on Stu's (Ed Helms) face.
If you can recall tattoo artist S. Victor Whitmill is suing Warner Bros. due to copyright infringement on a tattoo that he designed and inked on boxer Mike Tyson.
Considering that The Hangover Part 2 has grossed $350 million worldwide and still growing I'm sure Whitmill and Warner Bros. will come to a lucrative settlement that may even result in the now controversial tattoo not having to be changed or altered.
My advice to S. Victor Whitmill is to settle for the biggest amount possible and even try to work out a deal to create a special and unique tattoo for The Hangover 3 because you know they are going to eek out another film. Overall Whitmill didn't stop the original date for the film to release in theaters and most likely he will not stop the release of the DVD and if Warner Bros. has good lawyers they will find a way to release the DVD on time with no alterations.
Whitmill the ball is in your court.
