LARGO, Fla., June 26 (Oh Yippee) — Revival Tattoo Collective in Largo said it will turn away active-duty military members and veterans after a June 23 social media post in which the shop called the military “a bunch of war criminals” and said law enforcement “kills babies and unarmed citizens in the street.”
The post 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 the shop’s founder as Brady Martinson and quoted the business website describing him as “a tattooist and sign painter — script, blackletter, and custom typography on skin.”
