Apple Watch and tattoos
Did apple give heads up that the watch won’t be reading inked skin?
Question marked as
Do not know Apple’s position on tattoos.
But based on posts in these user-to-user forums, opaque ink blocks the green light used see blood flowing through your blood vessels.
As far as I know that has not changed.
There have been conflicting reports on improve ld Wrist detection, that would allow using Apple Pay, iPhone unlock when wearing a mask and unlocking your Mac. Both positive and negative reports, which could just the kind of tattoo each user had.
If you are thinking of getting an Apple Watch, I would suggest getting an in-Store demo for 20-30 minutes of wearing time before you buy.
Or as Apple’s return policy for Christmas extends to January 8th, 2024, maybe buy, try, return.
