Can you please correct them grammatically? 1- The author learn about tattoos by sending off a magazine called Body Art, which contained impressive stuff in the author's opinion. 2- His first tattoo was like a small Celtic motif that the author designed himself and applied to his left upper arm. 3- He started tattooing thanks to his tattoo artists friends, who encouraged him because they had seen the work he had designed for himself. 4- Tattooing is an ideal job for many people because tattooists can dress any way they want, do a creative job, enjoy high social status in their area and also tattooing pays well. 5- The drawbacks of tattooing are: bad back, neck and shoulder problems in addition to damaged wrists. 6- In author's opinion, customers can have questionable hygiene, can be rude to the point of violence or can be very stupid. 7- The author refuses to make a tattoo that is without imagination or mystery. He prefers to lose money instead of making one. 8- The author thinks that tattooing in Britain has taken its place on the high street, alongside hair dye and acrylic nails and it became just another part of the 21st century culture which is narcissistic and selfie-obsessed. 9- Tattooing has changed and lost its outsider status. Once tattooed people were seen as mad, bad and dangerous. Instead of now that body art has been commodified to the point of irrelevance. 10- In my opinion, the author meant that tattoos are for him something that represents or means something. Even if it is on our skin and can be seen by everyone, the meaning of an image, word or phrase is important only for us and can be understood only by us. It is something that hides a deep meaning but we decide who can know it. But in this century, people only sees it as an image without a significance, only a way to be transgressive and wild. The author felt that this is not the meaning of body art and he would have preferred that tattoos remained something with a bad reputation.
