Can I Bring Tattoo needle on a Plane to Canada?

Tattoo needle
Allowed
According to CATSA guidelines, tattoo needles—often part of a cartridge system—used to apply ink into the skin are typically made of stainless steel and are permitted in both carry-on and checked baggage. If the needle is attached to a motorized device or resembles a sharp medical tool, it may be subject to additional screening at the checkpoint.
The final decision rests with the CATSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint. Official CATSA Rules →
