LARGO, Fla., June 26 (Oh Yippee) — A Largo tattoo shop said it would turn away active-duty military members and veterans after a June 23 social media post calling the military “a bunch of war criminals” and saying law enforcement “kills babies and unarmed citizens in the street,” a message that drew backlash online.
Revival Tattoo Collective wrote that “if you are ex military or currently serving just don’t come to the shop. You will be turned away.” The post also said, “If you don’t like my opinion cool, but you’re not going to change it.”
Fox News identified Brady Martinson as the shop’s founder, citing the business website, which described him as “a tattooist and sign painter” who works in script, blackletter and custom typography on skin.
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.”
