Your Sleeve Tattoo Could Prevent the New Apple Watch From Working

If you are thinking about getting the new Apple Watch and you are sleeved out, you may have problems.

According to CNN, apparently some people are finding that their sleeve tattoos are causing problems with the new Apple Watch.

The watch checks your heart rate to tell whether you're wearing it which means it flashes infrared lights at your skin, and uses them to gauge your heart rate.

If it doesn't detect a pulse, a lot of its features stop working, like getting notifications, taking phone calls, or using Apple Pay.

But it looks like having tattoos on your wrist could screw up the sensor and keep the watch from detecting your pulse, especially black, green, and red tattoos.

There's no word yet from Apple on whether they're developing a fix.
