LARGO, Fla., June 26 (Oh Yippee) — Revival Tattoo Collective, a Largo, Florida tattoo shop, said on June 23 that active-duty military members and veterans were not welcome and would be turned away.

The post 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 added, “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 shop also wrote, “If you don’t like my opinion cool, but you’re not going to change it.” A spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “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 founder and quoted the business website describing him as “a tattooist and sign painter — script, blackletter, and custom typography on skin.”
