<p><span>Mike Tyson's tattoo artist has lost his bid to sue Warner Brothers in a copyright lawsuit. <br /><br />S. Victor Whitmill, who gave the boxer his Maori-inspired facial ink, claimed it was illegally reproduced on the face of Ed Helms in The Hangover Part 2.<br /><br />The case threatened to block the film from being released later this week.<br /><br />But today a judge dismissed the lawsuit, much to the relief of film bosses.<br /><br />'We are very gratified by the Court’s decision which will allow the highly anticipated film, The Hangover 2, to be released on schedule this week around the world,' the studio said in a statement.<br /><br />'Plaintiff’s failed attempt to enjoin H2 in order to try and extract a massive settlement payment from Warner Bros. was highly inappropriate and unwarranted.<br /> </span></p>
