Victor Whitmill v. Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

S. Victor Whitmill v. Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc.

In the movie The Hangover Part II, Stu Price, (a dentist played by Ed Helms), gets a tribal tattoo wrapped around his left eye, identical to the one Mike Tyson has. Tyson's tattoo artist S. Victor Whitmill filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros claiming he owned the intellectual property rights to the tattoo. 

 What intellectual property rights, if any, could Tyson's tattoo artist have over the design? Explain.
