Ed Helms' character sports the face tattoo in The Hangover Part II, but that plot line will have to be slightly altered for the DVD.
On Monday, according to TMZ, Warner Bros filed new documents saying, "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."
