I miss Nate's


This tattoo is entirely unrelated to Nate's Taco Truck Stop, but it's going to be the post for the evening because i am rather proud of this tattoo. I had drawn a picture for Nate's, a local Jackson Ward carry out diner, that has mysteriously closed down, despite being frequently busy. It was something of a coincidence that shortly after drawing a picture of a taco for them, that a random customer would walk in off the street and ask for a taco tattoo.
Also but a lonely speck of memory is Vito's, an Italian restaurant on VCU campus that shut down ahead of it's time. Vito's was my favorite Italian food in town, despite being owned and operated by a family of Mexicans. This is why it is of little difference to me that Nate's was a delicious Mexican food joint run by white guys. All that aside, i really miss that place, that magical dream land of chicken skin tacos...
