LARGO, Fla., June 26 (Oh Yippee) — Revival Tattoo Collective in Largo, Florida, said it will not serve active-duty military members or veterans after a June 23 social media post that called the military “a bunch of war criminals” and said law enforcement “kills babies and unarmed citizens in the street.”

The post said people who had served or were serving should not come to the shop because they would 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 business website, which describes him as “a tattooist and sign painter — script, blackletter, and custom typography on skin.”
