Just upgraded to series 6 watch from a 4. Now it constantly locks. I have tattoos and from what I read, it's an issue. My other arm doesn't have tattoos and from what I can tell it works on that arm. Problem is, I don't where my watch on that arm. Boo! Please help!

If you want to, you can turn off Wrist Detection on your watch: https://support.apple.com/guide/watch/lock-or-unlock-apple-watch-apd0e1e73b6f/watchos#apd6771615db

I tried that, but then I wasn't getting all the notifications and I can't use the Apple Pay feature. I use it often. Put it on my other wrist and it works fine.
I don't want to wear it on that wrist though.
You can try a different location on your wrist or a different band, but tattoos will obviously interfere with the light sensors on the back of the watch.
I've been using an Apple watch for years on that same tattooed wrist. Recently broke my series 4, and now I have this issue with the 6. Unacceptable In my eyes.
