New / Guesting abroad and customs

[LorneMalvo]

Hi guys, (posting in this section as I can’t post in any other it seems)

I have a guest spot in Canada all planned for next year, I’ll be going over from the UK. I just want to know what other artists usually do with getting through customs etc, as I know if they have a slight inkling that I’ll be working over there they’ll probably send me straight back home. 

Ive been told about mailing over my tattoo supplies beforehand, but that also sometimes that gets denied when checked out by customs, and sent back. 

I’m absolutely stumped with how to go about this, and am thinking of cancelling entirely and just having a holiday instead haha, as tickets are already bought and I don’t want to risk losing out on even being let into the country. 

 

Thanks for any help!

I’d suggest you do it legally. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don’t know Canada’s visa situation, but do your research. It’ll be a big waste to fly over and only to be turned around and sent home.
