An Upstate NY tattoo shop has become the target of fierce backlash after an anonymous blog post exposed two employees as members of an alt-right group with a history of violence.

The owner of Lark Street Tattoo in Albany issued a statement saying the two individuals no longer worked for the tattoo parlor over the weekend.

Last week, an anonymous post on the blog Love and Rage revealed that a part-time receptionist, an artist and a former employee of the tattoo shop were "Proud Boys."

The alt-right group tasks its members with physically defending "the Western way of life," and has been known to engage in violence at protests across the country.

"The group embraces male chauvinism, getting into street fights with leftists, and denigrating feminism and Non-christian religions," according to the post.

The article sparked outrage and quick backlash online. Lark Street Tattoo's owner, Tom 'T-Bone' Martin, said they saw a number of sharp, negative online reviews and cancelled appointments in response to the post.

"To say that were blindsided by the allegations is an understatement," reads a statement the business posted on Facebook.

Lark Street Tattoo said that it supports equal rights, and that after discussions with the employees, both have resigned, according to WTEN-TV.

"They just blew up everybody's lives and a lot of innocent people at this shop, who have nothing to do with anything, have all suffered from it," Martin told the station.

Here's the full statement from Lark Street Tattoo.
