Some Pagans traditionally cut themselves as an act of mourning. Will you copy this as well?

Not forbidden, so nothing wrong with it, right?

There are clear old testament warnings against cutting or marking yourself. There are also new testament passages about rejecting “detestable practices.”

But hey, rock on with your bad self.

Wrong.

Leviticus 19:28 You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the Lord.

Deuteronomy 14:1-2 “You are the sons of the Lord your God. You shall not cut yourselves or make any baldness on your foreheads for the dead. For you are a people holy to the Lord your God, and the Lord has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
