Last week, word that the Apple Watch didn’t work properly on tattooed wrists spread pretty fast. As the disappointment from tattooed techies grew and media coverage of the highly-anticipated product’s glitch increased, Apple only addressed the issue by updating the Apple Watch’s support section on their website.
