One Direction made an appearance on _The Late Late Show with James Corden_ Thursday and played an intense game of Tattoo Roulette.

Basically, the four boy banders, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, and the host each had to choose a box, four of which had the word “safe” and one of which had the word “tattoo” inside. Whoever picked the “tattoo” box would get inked right then and there, with Corden getting the words “1D” and the band getting “Late Late,” if chosen.

Both Horan, the only member of the group without a tattoo, and Corden were very anxious about the game, while the rest of the guys seemed pretty nonchalant about the whole thing. “It’s just going to be another stupid one,” Tomlinson said.

But after a tense _Deal or No Deal_\-esque reveal ceremony, it was Styles who sat down with the tattoo artist to get a new brand.

Watch the full video below:
