    Those tattoo guys are the trailerpark champions in UFC, that's what people refer to. You know, world of champions of ***** grappling and how long you can roll on the floor.

    In the movie Cinderella Man Crowe has a pretty biggish square type tattoo on his left(I think) forearm.

    Watching Jmaes Braddock on film I don't see any tattoo(quality is too bad) but I guess it was for the role.

    Sailors were certainly highly likely to have tattoos, so it's entirely possible that he was the first. I know that late 1890s and early 1900s contender Tom Sharkey had one, I don't know about Jack.

    From an article on (Tom) Sharkey:
