Chase Stokes Explains the Meaning Behind His 'Dear Me’ Tattoo
Outer Banks star Chase Stokes revealed the meaning behind one of his newest tattoos.
“I recently got ‘Dear me’ tattooed on my hand as a reminder that whenever I’m being mean to myself to simmer down,” Stokes, 31, exclusively tells Us Weekly‘s 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me. “Nobody should be s—ty to themselves.”
The actor admitted he struggles with “a pretty lovely battle with imposter syndrome,” so a reminder to be kind to himself is necessary. He also tries to prioritize self-care.
“To decompress, I drink a ton of water, try to get a good sweat in, call my loved ones and, yes, [go on] TikTok,” he tells Us.
