Sure wish they would fix the smart watch not working correctly over tattoos. It's 2024 almost 2025 so many people have tattoos you think it would have been fixed by now.

What makes you think that it can be fixed? Wrist tattoos block the functionality of the LEDs and sensors on the back of the watch. There's probably no remedy other than switching the watch to a clean wrist without tattoos.

Because you can use an epoxy sticker and it will work. Samsung is currently working on a software update to fix it from what I was reading online. If they can put someone on the moon they can figure out how to get get it to read through my tattoos. They should reading my skin not my pigmentation of the ink in my skin. I have faith they will figure it out. I unfortunately can't just switch to a non tattooed wrist. But I assure you a tattoo don't make them unclean

It's not a matter of being clean. The tattoo ink changes the optical properties of the skin, blocking the LED light from penatrating and properly reflecting back to the optical sensors on the back of the watch.
