Flying with Pet Ashes for a Tattoo

A grieving traveler flew to Winnipeg with his late dog’s ashes—not to scatter, but to get a permanent cremation tattoo. When airport security flagged the wooden box, he was forced to refund his flight and pay $900 for a new ticket. After a video call with his tattoo artist, he carried the ashes in a Ziploc bag, which cleared security. The artist, Kerri Parnell, mixes ashes into ink live during the tattoo, honoring the pet with ritual. Both advocate for manual screening by CATSA so others can travel with their loved ones’ remains.
