Milton Zeis was born in Rock Island, Illinois on December 10, 1901. Starting at a very young age he wanted to live life to the fullest. At 9 years old he set off to see the world & hopped a train West to Calfornia. As a little boy, Milton was fascinated by the circus & it was there he learned of tattooing & magic. It would later prove to be very influential even through the latter parts of his life. Milton was a jack of many trades & he did quite well with each of them. He was & still continues to be influential to the tattoo community. Milton was very open with his knowledge of tattooing by sharing tips & training others how to tattoo. "The Zeis School of Tattooing" included course work that was sent to students & then sent back to Milton for review. He was also known for his book,"Tattooing the World Over" & tattooing serial numbers on animals. Before Milton was a full-time tattooer he was a commercial artist. He went to school at the Chicago Art Institute. The Zeis Studio first began as a commercial art studio. He also worked for two publishing companies, Microswitch in Freeport,IL & Rockford Illustrating. Milton was a great business man & moved to Rockford, IL for a better opportunity. The Zeis studio was a tattoo supply shop that did extremely well. He sold merchandise all over the world through word of mouth & his customer service was great. Milton was very down to earth & treated all men equal. It wasn't until the early 60's on a hot Fourth of July day where he performed at a picnic in his clown outfit. He was the head clown for the Shriners & he went by the name "Uncle Milty". He enjoyed performing for children & traveled across the country. Last but certainly not least, Milton was a family man. in 1924, he married Eleanor Gartman & later in 1932, they gave birth to their only child, Joanne. Unfortunately, Eleanor was diagnosed with cancer & passed away on November 19, 1945. Milton always helped out where he could & stayed by her side. Later he married Lorna on July 16,1949. Lorna had one daughter, Mary. Milton had a very full life. He died at the age of 71, while getting ready to perform magic tricks in Lanark, IL in 1972. -ZEIS STUDIO.
