LARGO, Fla., June 26 (Oh Yippee) — Revival Tattoo Collective in Largo, Florida, said in a June 23 social media post that it would not serve active-duty military members or veterans, turning away a class of customers from the business.
In the post, the shop said, “My opinion is that the military is a bunch of war criminals and law enforcement kills babies and unarmed citizens in the street.” It also said, “Once again for the slow ones the military. Pretty simple if you are ex military or currently serving just don’t come to the shop. You will be turned away.”
In a statement to Fox News Digital, a shop spokesperson said, “Yeah I’m booked up I can’t take any clients military or civilian. Thanks for your interest on my opinion.”
Fox News identified Brady Martinson as the shop’s founder, citing the shop website, which described him as “a tattooist and sign painter — script, blackletter, and custom typography on skin.”
