But piercings aren't self injury?
Eitherway, scarring and burning on purpose does not mean injury, unless you are a masochyst (someone help me with spelling that). Masochysm involves no form or art, no creativity or whatever. Masochysm is just hurting yourself for the same of hurting yourself. Scarification and burnification, together with piercing and tattooing, isn't masochysm/self injury because it's about making the body more beautifull, not just fucking it up with ugly scars.
I mean, you can be against self scarring or burning but you have to admit that most if not all of the scarrings are beautifull. Some are terribly lame though like XXX in the back of your neck.
