does anyone else have an issue with the sensor not being able to read HR through tattoos? I had it happen on my Apple Watch and my whoop strap. Whoop actually has a download for those with tattoos which made me wonder why that download wasn’t just pushed to all whoops but that’s another discussion. I guess I’d like to know if fit bit is better with this or will the issue remain the same.

Hi @Paulydw22 - you can see other posts in the forums where tattoos do influence the ability of the HR sensor, so this is a known issue.
