Self Mutilation

If I were to say that I planned to abrade a 3x3" section of skin off of my arm, (down to the third layer), and have myself injected with several chemical compounds at the same time; all for the sole purpose of entertaining myself.  Most folks would, I think, think I was a little odd.  If I threatened to do that to you, you'd probably recoil from me.

But anymore, nobody thinks twice about someone saying that they're getting another tattoo.

What an interesting species we've become.
