I didn’t know that self mutilation had become a problem, I always assumed a certain amount went on but that it was a extremely rare. I’ve never even heard of embedding.
The thing that blows me away is that tattoos have become an almost universal form of self expression. It seems as many women now as men are getting them.
I hadn’t heard of self-embedding either. The tattoo thing has really shocked me. I just didn’t see it getting as huge and lasting as long as it has. (But then .. I’m kinda of an old fart).
