Florida Tattoo Shop Offers 20% Anti-Military Discount as Service Ban Sparks Discrimination Backlash

Summary
Revival Tattoo Collective in Largo, Florida, posted a 20% discount for customers who can prove they are not in the military or law enforcement, escalating a controversy already surrounding the shop.
The new offer followed a June 23 Facebook post saying active-duty service members and veterans would be turned away, with founder Brady Martinson framing the policy as support for people he said were not "hateful."
Most responses to the Sunday post were negative, with critics accusing the shop of hypocrisy and discrimination; one veteran promoted his own 20% discount for military and first responders in reply.
Fox News Digital said the shop did not immediately respond to a request for comment, while an unrelated tattoo shop named Revival in Hendersonville, North Carolina, said it was being hit with mistaken bad Yelp reviews.
