... isn't this essentially getting a tattoo? Tattoos are not painfree. And the majority of people get them done despite the pain/complications to commemorate something, not to look cool, so how would intentional scarring be all that different?
Is someone's scar inherently more worthy because they tripped over a bench and cut their arm on a brick rather than someone who did it with a purpose?
Not that I support cutting yourself to look cool, but it seems like a rather ridiculous thing to defend...

Tattoos generally carry meaning and represent things an individual may care deeply about. At the same time, they are considered works of art. I have a few myself, I get it.
Scars are crude physical reminders on our bodies of our misfortunes in the past. They are unexpected. They are experiences. Stories. One of my best friends growing up got mauled by a dog when he was around 3 years old. It chewed up his face pretty bad and left him covered in scars that stayed with him as he got older. He was made fun of by fellow classmates for years and would never wish such a thing upon anybody. There's an amount of respect to be had there... respect I would lose when somebody says they would cut themselves because they wanted to look cool.
