If "no record = didn't happen" proves that something didn't take place, then none of the apostles were baptized; however, we have great confidence that they were even though no record in the Bible exists to prove that they were baptized.
Just so there is no confusion, I consider baptism much more important than tithing.

But there is record, in that they were disciples of John, and John baptized his isciples. We also know that Jesus offered baptism to those who would become his disciples (using the term generally, not of the 12) though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples.
There is no evidence whatsoever that Jesus (carpenter) or jis disciples (majority fisherman) tithed at any time, despite the fact they were under the Law. Comparing what the new testament says about the apostles and baptism and the apostles and tithing is apples to oranges.
