In Collaboration with Long Beach’s Obscura and Artist Taryn Elise, Ink Different Expands Its College-Alternative Tattoo Apprenticeship to Long Island, New York

LONG BEACH, N.Y., Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Ink Different Tattoos is proud to announce the launch of its newest tattoo apprenticeship location in Long Beach, New York, in collaboration with Obscura – Art, Tattoo + Body Mod. Studio, a private custom studio founded and led by 15-plus-year tattooing veteran Taryn Elise. This partnership brings Ink Different’s structured, real-world apprenticeship program to Long Island’s South Shore, offering aspiring Tattoo Artists a clear path into a professional, AI-proof creative career inside a studio that was purpose-built to help artists thrive.

“What drives Taryn Elise as a mentor is something we deeply respect,” says Paul-Anthony Surdi of Ink Different Tattoos. “She set out to give her apprentices an experience that is encouraging, honest, and built entirely around their success. That’s a philosophy we share, and it’s exactly why Obscura is the right home for a Long Island apprenticeship.”

Obscura – Art, Tattoo + Body Mod. Studio is a warm, inclusive boutique studio built around custom tattooing, body modification, and an intentional creative environment where both clients and artists genuinely feel at home. Leading the apprenticeship program is Taryn Elise, founder of Obscura. As a mentor, she provides the encouraging, open-minded learning environment that apprentices should have. Taryn’s work spans detailed custom illustrative pieces, fine-line and single-line tattooing, and a broad stylistic range built on 15-plus years of real-world practice.

A College Alternative in Long Beach

Ink Different’s Tattoo Apprenticeship is designed as a structured college alternative for talented artists aspiring to become professional Tattoo Artists. Instead of taking on student debt for a four-year degree, apprentices learn the trade of tattooing with Ink Different and studios like Obscura, receiving hands-on experience, one-on-one mentorship, and professional development over 18–24 months.

Tattooing is an AI-proof career, driven by human creativity, craftsmanship, and personal connection. With professional Tattoo Artists earning a median income of around $106,000 per year, the apprenticeship offers a practical pathway from passion to profession.

Graduates complete the program industry-ready, with a guaranteed job offer upon successful completion and the skills needed to thrive in today’s competitive tattoo industry.

Now Enrolling in Long Beach

Applications are now open for the Ink Different Tattoo Apprenticeship at Obscura in Long Beach. Whether you’re a recent graduate exploring a college alternative or someone ready to commit to a creative career, this program offers structure, deeply personal mentorship, and a clear path forward inside one of Long Island’s most distinctive and community-driven studios.

New integrations and customer deployments demonstrate Connected Intelligence and strong momentum following the April merger.

ATLANTA, Sept. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Five months after joining forces, March Networks®, a global leader in video surveillance and business intelligence, and VIVOTEK, a leading global security solutions provider, will exhibit jointly at Global Security Exchange (GSX) 2026 for the first time.

At booth 1823, September 14–16 at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, the combined organization will demonstrate how Connected Intelligence for Modern Security brings together video, AI, cloud, business intelligence and third-party systems to give customers better operational intelligence and faster ways to act on it.

“We said from the beginning that bringing March Networks and VIVOTEK together would create meaningful value for our customers and partners,” said Net Payne, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer. “Now we can point to real examples of that happening in the technologies we’re connecting, the systems we’re deploying and the way we’re operating as one company. GSX allows us to show that progress together on a global stage.”

Five months in: the merger is delivering

Since the April merger, teams across both organizations have been connecting technologies and expertise to create practical new capabilities for customers.

At GSX, attendees will see several examples:

Broader VIVOTEK camera support within March Networks environments, giving customers additional device choice and a seamless experience.New C•CURE integration with March Networks Command Enterprise Software, bringing access control events and video together in a single pane of glass.VORTEX, VIVOTEK’s award-winning surveillance platform, integrates with Searchlight Cloud, extending operational intelligence capabilities into direct-to-cloud video environments.Searchlight AI is included for Searchlight Cloud customers, providing natural-language video search without an additional license cost.Expanded face and license plate search and re-search across compatible cameras and devices.VIVOTEK Chroma24 camera delivers clear, full-color video in ultra-low-light environments, improving AI detection and video search.

What a connected ecosystem looks like in practice

GSX will also demonstrate how the March Networks and VIVOTEK combination fits within Delta Electronics’ broader Building Automation business, creating opportunities to draw on Delta’s capabilities in AI, cloud services, edge computing, intelligent buildings, manufacturing and supply chain.

“A North American apparel brand with more than 500 stores was evaluating a competitor’s cloud-based analytics solution,” said Jeff Corrall, Chief Product Officer for March Networks and VIVOTEK. “We were able to integrate VIVOTEK’s advanced cameras, the VORTEX cloud platform, and March Networks’ operational intelligence software into a tailored solution that strengthens store security while using AI to measure foot traffic and checkout efficiency. That combination gave the customer the confidence to choose us.”

Integration beyond technology

The merger is also bringing the organizations closer together behind the scenes, from product roadmaps and R&D to manufacturing, sourcing and supply management. It gives March Networks and VIVOTEK greater access to Delta’s global manufacturing and supply chain resources, strengthening material management and supporting greater factory automation.

For customers and partners, that means the merger is strengthening not only the portfolio, but also how solutions are developed, sourced, and delivered.

“We’re still early in this journey, but we’re already seeing what becomes possible when we bring these teams and technologies together,” Payne concluded. “The customer deployments and integrations we’re showing at GSX are tangible examples of that progress. Our focus is on building those connections in ways that solve real problems and give customers better information when and where they need it.”

Visitors can experience March Networks and VIVOTEK together at GSX 2026, booth 1823. Members of the media are invited to meet with executives at the show for additional updates on the merger, ongoing integrations, and what comes next for the combined organization.
