The co-owner of a tattoo shop in Milwaukee told WISN-TV that an antisemitic mural the landlord installed on the building has been “a nightmare,” and he is relocating his store.

“For the property owner to not even reach out to us to say, hey, are you OK? Hey, this is probably going to affect your business. Nothing,” Aaron Rodgers, who co-owns Black Dawn Tattoo, told the station.

He added that he has been losing sleep, and it is “heart-wrenching.”

Ihsan Atta, the Palestinian American man who owns the building and installed the mural, which contains a swastika embedded in a Star of David, told reporters that it has been vandalized multiple times.
