Al Kinsella

Al Kinsella is a tattoo artist and fine artist. What makes him unique is his infusion between these two very different mediums.

His tattoo career spans over 15 years, in which he has been published in magazines, won many international awards within the tattoo industry including Neo traditional, Large-scale colour, Japanese, Old school, New school and many more. He has also judged numerous competitions within the tattoo community.

Al hails from Wexford, Ireland, a culture rich town, with one of the largest arts and music festivals in the country.

Apart from the many years honing his craft in tattooing, he has also studied Masters oil painting, Classical portrait drawing, Academic figure drawing, Classical oil painting, Realism portrait painting in oils and more.

His artwork has been hung in a prestigious art gallery and published in newspapers. He has travelled extensively and created art in studios around the world.

Al has studied art in many ways, and being on the doorstep to Europe, he has travelled throughout. Visiting some of the finest art museums across the continent opened his mind to countless possibilities, and was a cause of significant change and focus that he brought to the art of tattooing.

"I've started to push the boundaries of tattoo art and explore the world of fine art more, and my inventive mind much more. I've become more interested in spirituality, abstract reality, cubism and futurism, and the introduction of masters fine art into tattoo art.
