Craving tattoos & piercings (or shopping)

Do y’all feel the same when y’all feel in a sad episode? It’s like a reward to avoid the mental pain for me … is it like well made "scarification"??? I don’t even know because the wanting intensifies when im not in a right place in life.

For shopping, since its more of a regular thing to do, i tend to do it less to "reward" or distract myself

I feel like tattoos and piercings makes me feel better about myself even thought it won’t make the mental pain go away.

Anybody coppin like that? Like that doesn’t mean i will do a tattoo or a piercing but it just an intensified craving
