I have a tattoo on my chest. Am I eligible for UPSC exam?

Yes, you are eligible to appear for the UPSC exam. Tattoos are allowed, but it would be inappropriate. As long as the tattoos are not vulgar, or they are of religious significance, they would be not be disallowed per se, but they might be looked down upon. Also, it might harm your personality. Looks are very important and it would be weird to see an important bureaucrat having juvenile tattoos. It might even hurt your promotion prospects. It might cause your peers to treat you lightly. So it isn't advisable to have a tattoo. At least, not a visible one anyways.
