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

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,” adding, “If you don’t like my opinion cool, but you’re not going to change it.”

Fox News identified the business as being founded by Brady Martinson, citing the shop website, which described him as “a tattooist and sign painter — 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.”
