Tattoo Roulette w/ One Direction

During this game, James had set up 5 boxes for each member of One Direction and himself. In one of these boxes, the inside was labeled tattoo, meaning whoever opened that box would receive a tattoo on the show.
Niall, who was the only member who did not have a tattoo, was fearing for his life as each member began to open their boxes, as they were labeled “safe.” However, if you watch the video, you know that, in the end, Niall is safe. Corden went on to play the same game with 5 Seconds of Summer four years later.
