Benny Blanco Gets A Face Tattoo Of BTS And Snoop Dogg’s “Bad Decisions” — Here’s Why It Wasn’t A “Bad Decision”
Benny Blanco has continually shown how excited he was for the opportunity to work with BTS, culminating in the “Bad Decisions” music video where Benny Blanco surrounded himself with BTS merch…
Dressed to look like Jimin…
Decorated a beautiful BTS-themed cake…
And didn’t let anything stop him from attending the BTS concert.
While many parts of the music video felt like more extreme levels of being a fan, even to many BTS fans, Benny Blanco actually took his love for BTS one step further by getting a QR code for “Bad Decisions” tattooed on his face.
In his post on Instagram showing off the tattoo, Benny Blanco explained that he made many surprising decisions the day the song was released.
yesterday i put out a new song… got a dog… tattooed the QR code to “bad decisions” on my face… met some of the ARMY on top a mountain and then ate raising canes…

But, looking back on the past, he explained what an honor it was to be able to work with Snoop Dogg on another song.
but lets rewind a lil… in 2010 i had the pleasure of working with one of my heroes on a song called “california gurls”… his name is snoop dogg and he is a fuckin legend !!! its like no matter what era or how old u r snoop has touched u… whether its with his music or his infectious personality… he is truly one of the best guys i know…

Benny Blanco then touched on how he became a part of BTS’s ARMY, becoming obsessed with them and their music.
anyways when i saw the video for “blood sweat and tears” i immediately fell in love with BTS.. last year i went to one of their concerts… and i was lucky enough to meet them… that is where my OBSESSION began…
— Benny Blanco
In fact, despite having worked with many talented and famous artists in the apst, Benny Blanco actually felt incredibly nervous about meeting BTS.
ive gotten to work w so many amazing artists and meet so many influential people but for some reason when i was in a room with them i was so nervous… like i was a little kid again… waiting for an autograph…
— Benny Blanco
Benny Blanco also touched on why so many people become fans of BTS, explaining that their work ethic is incredible and that the members inspire fans to “chase those highs [every day].”
they made me feel young… they made me feel excited… they made me believe… we chase those highs everyday… and they have the ability to give that to so many people… they are some of the kindest most hard working people i have ever gotten to work with… their work ethic is unmatched and seeing them live is something every person reading this needs to do immediately…
— Benny Blanco
And while Benny Blanco admitted that he was worried about not having any “idea what anyone is going to think” about his new song, he expressed gratitude for ARMY’s constant support of him and his music.
guys i will try to keep this short… u know u work on something for so long and then its finally out in the world… its like ur baby… and u have no idea what anyone is going to think… but when i woke up seeing all ur messages and support is why we do this… the BTS ARMYs dedication is unlike anything i have ever seen !!! i am honored and humbled to be accepted by u guys !!!
— Benny Blanco
To wrap up his post, Benny Blanco shares that it definitely wasn’t a “Bad Decision” to get the QR code tattoo because releasing this song, in particular, has made his “six-year-old self’s dreams come true.”
i didnt know what i was going to do when i was a kid… i wouldnt say i was lost bc i always knew i wanted to be a musician but i didnt know how to make it a reality… those things didnt happen where im from and the possibility seemed so far away… i just want thank u guys for making my 6 year old selfs dreams come true… i dont know how i can ever repay u… im actually tearing up writing this… love u
