This. Skin, irrespective of colour, is pretty translucent as a substance.
Tattoo ink, depending on the colour, is a combination of carbon (in the form of ash) and other non-translucent things like iron.

If Apple knew then they wouldâve put it in the FAQ beforehand. Itâs reasonable to assume that only when it got on the wrists of millions of non-beta testers did Apple see it was a problem.
While this is a huge first-world waste of time and a beat up, the words âadmitâ and âproblemâ are appropriate. They previously didnât make reference to any problems - now tats are included in their What else affects your reading? section. Are tats a problem for their watch? Yes. They affect heart-beat readings.
While wrist-only tattoos are pretty rare (except for the inside of the wrist, you tend to see a lot of those, but that wouldnât be an issue unless you wore your apple watch on the inside of your wrist)⌠Sleeve tattoos are becoming more and more common.
This is very true, but everyone I know with sleeve tattoos ends them around the lower forearm so that theyâre covered by shirt sleeves; a watch wouldnât cover them. I know that some people have tats that come down to their wrists, but Iâm guessing that the overlap of âpeople with heavy, dark wrist tattoosâ and âpeople plunking down money for an Apple Watchâ is low enough that Apple wasnât too concerned.
