Canucks superfan JC Clemas, otherwise known as the owner of popular Instagram meme page Nucksmemes, has always been a man of his word, and he followed through on a promise to his fans.

Clemas got the number 43 of Quinn Hughes tattooed on his backside to follow through on an Instagram comment promising he would get the tattoo in exchange for a goal versus the Vegas Golden Knights on April 13. Clemas was recently interviewed by DailyHive to explain the situation.

«He posted on Instagram a day before and I wanted to have some funny comment so I made that comment,» Clemas said in a chat with Daily Hive. "Quinn is a great player obviously, but not a notorious goal-scorer, so I thought it was a safe bet.»

Hughes ended up scoring the overtime winner, giving the Canucks a 5-4 victory, and Clemas was watching the game live when it happened.

"I was watching the game with a couple guys who aren't hockey fans, but I explained the situation to them,» he said. «It's 4-3 Vancouver, but Vegas scores to tie it with 40 seconds left, and I'm immediately disheartened. I forget about the bet completely, cause I'm so focused on winning an OT game, which the Canucks struggled with.

«Cut to (Conor) Garland storming in and Quinn grabbing the rebound. It all happened in seemingly slow motion. My mind clicked that it was Quinn, and I had bet an ass tattoo on a goal from him, just as he roofed it.

«So in the middle of exam season, in my dorm, I screamed 'NOOOOOOOOOOOO ARE YOU KIDDING ME?' at the top of my lungs.»

Almost immediately after the game, he received tons of DMs regarding his bet, which forced Clemas to realize he had to follow through on it.

«At first, I was thinking like, 'I probable don't have to go through with this' but after I got hundreds of comments and DMs about it, i just committed to it,» Clemas said.

«I'd never been anti-tattoo, but I also never really planned on getting one.»

Quinn Hughes actually commented on the post showing off the new tattoo saying, «Atta boy 💯.» This comment alone has over 5,000 likes.

Being a Canucks superfan, Clemas reacted the way that anyone would if a favorite player commented on one of their posts.

«I instantly started screaming 'NO WAY' and 'OH MY GOD' as I ran outside to tell my dad,» he said. «I sent it to some group chats and we were all freaking out. Most of the excitement was obviously about Quinn acknowledging me, but there was a bit of me that was just relieved I didn't tattoo my ass only for him to never see it.»

«I definitely do not regret this tattoo. I mainly just find the whole thing really really funny.»
