Ironically that's kinda what happened to me. Had a tattoo picked out and everything and was going to get it to cover my scars. Like a week later I cut in the same spot. Guess I won't be getting a tattoo for awhile. Not sure I like the pain so much as the control. Kind of rebellion thing I guess, there are a lot of really controlling people in my life. I agree though- spontaneous impulsive behavior runs rampant in an emotional crisis.
