Thousands of tattoo, and tattooed, enthusiasts will have come through the doors of the Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack this weekend for the return of the Resurrection Island Tattoo Convention.

For the second annual convention, more than 130 vendors set up tables in the convention center. Dennis Gilbert, the owner of Breaking Skin Tattoo, Bridgeport, noticed that large cities like Pittsburgh and Columbus held large conventions and suggested that Wheeling could support one.

Gilbert reports that there were between 4,000 to 5,000 people at the 2021 event.

“I’ve got (137) artists from literally over the country — from the west coast to the east, south to north, and the level of artwork is mind-blowing,” Gilbert said.

“People from the Ohio Valley don’t really get to see the level of artwork available out there. We have Ink Master artists from the TV show, they’re in there tattooing live right now.

“There’d never been a tattoo convention in Wheeling; you’d have to go to Columbus, Pittsburgh, Morgantown, any big city other than Wheeling, but you can’t see them here, so I thought, why not put one on? People told me it can’t be done — well, this is our second year, and we’ve already got the dates locked in for next year.”

There are many other attractions at the convention, besides the tattoo artists who will be performing their art in the open air in the rooms of convention center.

Other than artists, there were sideshows, suspended teams, burlesque performances, taxidermy booths, sideshows, sideshows, sideshows, sideshows, and suspension teams.

“We’re bringing something to the Ohio Valley that’s never been here before last year,” Gilbert added. “We own a tattoo shop and we promote our artists by doing other conventions. Once we’d seen the level of how far the industry had come just from 10 years ago, the difference is amazing.”

Gilbert mentioned that Wheeling and specifically the casino had proved to be a great venue.

“The casino’s an amazing place for the event — half the people here that had come from all over the country were here last year, and they love it so much because it’s a cool little town,” he said. “They’ve never been here and had a chance to come, because most of these artists are from big cities.

“For us, it’s huge, but for someone from Atlanta or Portland, it’s small to them, and they love the feel of it. It’s awesome.”

Weekend passes cost $40 and day passes are $20. Children younger than 12 years are free. The event will take place from noon until midnight Saturday and noon until 7 p.m. Sunday.
