This is why we’re really gonna miss One Direction.

The very handsome British boy band is still planning to take a hiatus in 2016 (and, so it seems, also in 2017), but at least the group is still on a publicity tour for its latest album.

And that tour took them to The Late Late Show with James Cordon on Thursday night, where Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne took on the host in a game of Tattoo Roulette.

Just how does one play Tattoo Roulette? It’s simple:

Contestants pick a box – and the unlucky individual to select the box with the word "tattoo" written on the lid has to ACTUALLY GET A TATTOO.

The One Direction members agreed to have the words "Late Late" tattooed on a part of their body if they lost, while Corden said he would go with "1D" if he chose the wrong box.

For real. There were actual stakes at play here, people!

“I’m regretting you thought of this game," said Horan at one point because he’s the sole One Direction singer without a tattoo. "I don’t like this."

In the end, Horan was saved from his worst nightmare after Styles, a man with many tattoos, selected the tattoo-themed box. 

And then he really did go ahead and get a tattoo on television.
