Bodies are meant to be used, that's why we have them. Minor injury is irrelevant compared to the satisfaction of self-expression and the sense of ownership over your physical self.
When you get right down to it we do voluntary self-injury on an almost daily basis. From sports like boxing, to eating fast-food, to body modifications. The only differences are the degree of self-awareness behind the decision.
