Other factors like subcultures, type of piercing: I associate self-harm more w dark/brooding aesthetic, incl. more "out there" piercings/tats like subdermal, artsy - as opposed to e.g. frat bro w diamond lobe studs + a bicep tat. Anecdotally holds amongst me + acquaintances

Tattooing and piercing is most certainly self-mutilation. Look to those who go to extremes and you will see the motivations. They are signaling the fact that they are willing to harm themselves. There are many who look for that in a partner. Sad but true.

Quite fascinating. I know a couple people for whom the past self harm POV is true but didn’t realize a trend existed.
