Summary
Revival Tattoo Collective in Largo, Florida, said active-duty service members and veterans would be turned away, drawing a wave of online criticism after its June 23 social media post.
The shop tied the ban to its stated view that the military are "war criminals" and that law enforcement "kills babies and unarmed citizens in the street," framing the refusal as an expression of opinion.
Replies split sharply, with many users calling the policy prejudiced and immature, while a smaller number backed the anti-military stance and criticism of police.
A shop spokesperson later told Fox News Digital the business was fully booked and could not take any clients, military or civilian, but did not retract the post.
