Can amateur boxers have tattoos?

I have seen professional boxers with tattoos, but are amateurs still eligible to compete?

Has anyone out there heard of tom cribb bare nuckle fighter?

Certainly, there is no rule against body art or "tattoos" in any level of boxing whether amateur or pro. I fought for over 5yrs as an amateur and my best friend was also a fighter. By the time he was 16yo he had two complete "sleeves" (both arms covered in tats from the wrist to the shoulder).

A famous pro-fighter who had a long amateur career, Johnny Tapia (over 150 amateur fights) had tattoos during his amateur career. Once he turned pro the tattoos increased in amount and coverage. Hope this helped, Good Luck.

Most pros come from the amateur ranks. Unless the "tattoo" (like GOLDS GYM) is an advertisement or profane, then why should it matter?
