I have never seen a tattoo that makes me think MORE of a person. This is why many people get tattoos that they can hide, because a person with visible tattoos does not convey a person who respects himself, and if a person does not respect himself - what would make me think he will respect me, my finances, my business or my best interests?
Wow, I'm surprised at the tattoo-hate going on here. I have a rather large tattoo on my back but I didn't read much into this article outside more of "Oh well... sucks to have an arm-sleeve. Seriously, I've always known that tattoo ink can have particles in it that could conceivably interfere with something. I occasionally get asked if I have one on a medical form from time-to-time. No biggie.
I'm curious who these people are that are "complaining"? Sounds like AI is fishing for a hype-rumor for more web clicks. This probability has to be so low, that the article is making it sound like it's a more widespread problem than it really is. If my tattoo affected some shiny new gadget, I'd be like "Oh well, not for me".
For the record... tattoos on women, done tastefully, is seriously hot in my book. Be careful when stereotyping women like that. I can personally guarantee that there are women, professional and very successful in life, well-educated that are sporting tattoos. They just choose not to show them to the world. It just reeks ignorance on many of you.
I am always amazed how people do not take time to understand how technology works...
If you are measuring light reflectance and absorbance on your skin and how it interacts with blood pulsing through your veins, how do you think a whole bunch of ink on the top layer of your skin, its main purpose is to absorb light, is going to affect the measurement of the blood vessels under it?
This is similar to the people that complain that capacitive touch screens do not work with gloves...

In all seriousness I actually married a woman with a tattoo. I don't like them, I wouldn't have one myself, but I'm clearly able to see past the tattoo

Sadly, what you are saying says more about you and how you view people than about those other people and how they live their lives. Just something to think about.
I have a tattoo but no one can see it (shoulder, hidden by t-shirt sleeve) and that is a personal choice, as was the choice to get one, as is your opinion of people with body art. You are choosing to think that way. There are plenty of people with no tattoos who will disrespect you, your business and your best interests, but because they may not have THAT distinguishing feature, maybe they are more difficult to remember for you.
It’s easy to associate something bad with particular people when they have something to make them stand out. We forget those that do us harm that blend in – could be something for you to work on.
This thread is a despicable reflection of the blind zealotry and hostile nature of extreme fanboys. Shameful and pathetic.
Can you please stop labeling people with such a broad brush? A handful of opinions and you're declaring Apple fanboys hostile and zealots. They do not speak for the majority of Apple fans.

A person with a lot of tattoos, at least in my part of the country, tends to indicate gang affiliation.
Jesus tapdancing christ people! Today I learned Appleinsider commenters are narrow minded as hell.
I'd probably hire someone with a large tattoo over a non-tattood person. Shows they will take risk and don't gave a f*ck what others think. Admirable qualities when surrounded by lemmings.
Boy, oh boy. I'd make such a person last on my list of potential hires...unless I was hiring someone for my tattoo parlor.
But they do so it should've been taken into account.
Maybe it was taken into account and there was a chance the watch would function fine a good percentage of the time. Maybe this ink-stained wretch has iron rich blood that's wreaking havoc with the sensors.
I really am amazed at the tattoo hatred in this thread. You'd think tattoo's beat these people up in grade school or something.
I have several tattoos, all my personal designs, all able to be covered by clothing. That is my personal choice but if someone chooses to show off their ink/art in a visible space, that's their choice.
As for the drunken statement, I can tell you for a fact my artist (and his whole studio & other artists I know) won't ink anyone under any influences, after do what you like, but you have to be coherent when getting your ink.
I can't help but wonder if people are this judgmental of people by the clothes they wear, or the cars they drive. And as for the one person who specifically called a woman a tramp because of tattoos, wow.
Ah yes, yet another reason why a tattoo is foolish. It confuses an Apple Watch.
In my case, I've always envisioned myself a downed pilot in WWII, able to speak fluent German and having escaped a grim POW camp. Absent a tattoo, there'd be no "identifying marks" for the Gestapo to put on my wanted poster. I could smile as I went through checkpoint after checkpoint with my dyed hair and forged papers. Take that you stinking Nazis!
Yeah, that's imaginary. But who knows what can happen. There's no easier way for someone who means you ill to identify you than a tattoo. Don't get one.

Oh it's just a bit of fun, calm down. Some of my best friends have tattoos, Tiffany and Destiny for instance.

I am sure they might be able to overcome this somehow...
60% of the time, they succeed every time.

... or a “hip” pastor... or a chef... or, well... just about anything these days. I don’t now many designers who don’t have one.

I suppose the watch wont work if you have no arms or legs either...

Interesting. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen an ?Watch on a non-white wrist.
No? Think again. At least you could have noticed all those celebrities wearing one, for example Beyoncé, Drake, Pharell Williams, etc.
Which is why the limbless should buy a small hairless chihuahua to act as a surrogate arm.
