Chance the Rapper shares his tattoo regrets with Katie Couric

"krow ot kcab teG"

Chancellor Bennett is a father, independent artist and Grammy award winner—but that doesn't mean he also doesn't have tattoos he regrets. He is human after all.

The rapper recently sat down with Katie Couric, who he's mentioned in his rhymes before, and the two talked everything from gun violence in Chicago to his iconic '3' hat. While they chomped on food from Harold's Chicken Shack, Chance showed off his rarely seen tattoo and shared the story behind the phrase inked on his chest.

“It’s so stupid, I hate it. No one’s seen it,” he sheepishly told Couric, while revealing the "get back to work" tattoo that sits above his heart. “It’s a backwards tattoo. It’s a mirror tattoo, which is a concept I created."

"I got it when I was 21,” he said, which was only two short years ago. “Basically, it’s a reminder that I’m not doing enough."

You can watch the full interview below, but hey, Chance? You're doing just great, buddy.
