As we approach the 10th anniversary of the Roughrider Ink & Iron Expo (RIIE), we announce with a mixture of gratitude and reflection that this year’s expo will be our last. Over the previous decade, RIIE has proudly celebrated the art of tattooing and the craftsmanship of motorcycle building. Each year, we have gathered artists whose ink has told stories and artisans whose machines have set the streets alight, creating a familial bond that has united enthusiasts from all walks of life.

Since its inception, RIIE has been more than just an event; it has been a platform that educates, acknowledges, and empowers artists, from novices to seasoned veterans. We have strived to create an inclusive atmosphere that welcomes everyone, strengthening our community and making it more vibrant.

This year, as we mark our 10th-year milestone, we celebrate a decade of creativity and camaraderie and reaffirm our commitment to giving back to the community that has supported us. A portion of our ticket sales and auction proceeds will continue to support Make-A-Wish® North Dakota, aiding in their mission to transform lives.

We invite you to join us one last time to celebrate this legacy. Let’s make this final year a memorable culmination of passion, purpose, and artistry. Thank you for your unwavering support, sharing your passion, and helping make RIIE a beacon for tattoo and motorcycle enthusiasts. As we close this chapter, we look forward to exploring new ways to support and celebrate our community in the years to come.
