'Hangover 2'producers sued: Artist who gave Mike Tyson tattoo is upset character has same tattoo

This is going to hurt more than a tattoo -- or a hangover.

The artist who permanently inkedMike Tyson's face with a tribal tattoo around his eye is suing the producers of"Hangover 2"because starEd Helmsalso sports the tat in the film.

S. Victor Whitmill, who tattooed the boxer in 2003, claims he not only created the design, but he also copyrighted it.

The artist has filed a lawsuit in federal court inSt. Louison Tuesday, claimingWarner Brothersviolated his copyright.

Whitmill is asking for an unspecified amount of money -- and for the tattoo to be removed from the film.

That will probably be hard considering Helms' character getting the tattoo (after a crazy night of partying before his wedding) is a major plot point.

Even Tyson himself makes a cameo in the comedy, which hits theatres May 26 and also starsBradley Cooper,Zach GalifianakisandJustin Bartha.
