My feeling is that your intent has a lot to do with it. What does it mean to you?

One definition I have seen states that anything you do intentionally for the purpose of coping with your emotions, that leaves a mark that lasts for at least 15 minutes is self-injury.

Who decides if it is okay or not? Isn't it your choice? The bottom line as far as I am concerned is how you feel about it.
