Fair play to Ed Sheeran -- if he gets an idea about something, he fully commits to it.

Saoirse Ronan, who stars in Sheeran's music video for the song "Galway Girl", appeared on The Graham Norton Show on Friday to talk about the filming process. She explained that the tattoo Sheeran has in the video -- "Galway Grill" -- was actually real. And she was the one that wrote it.

"That's my handwriting," she says in the clip above. "I was very, very nervous about it so I practiced for about half an hour before they actually tattooed it onto him."

And yes -- in case you were wondering, the world "girl" has been misspelled on purpose.
