LARGO, Fla., June 26 (Oh Yippee) — A Largo tattoo shop said on social media that it will not serve active-duty military members or veterans, a move that could narrow its customer base even as the business did not quantify any financial impact.
Revival Tattoo Collective made the statement in a June 23 post that said, “My opinion is that the military is a bunch of war criminals and law enforcement kills babies and unarmed citizens in the street.” The post 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.”
The post added, “If you don’t like my opinion cool, but you’re not going to change it.”
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 reported that Revival Tattoo Collective was founded by Brady Martinson. The shop website describes him as “a tattooist and sign painter” who works in script, blackletter and custom typography.
