Tattoos and Piercings as Self-Harm?

In this episode of the podcast, Laurie and Sara explore the idea
of body modifications and BPD after a DM that a parent of an
adult with BPD sent Sara stating the following: 

"Hi Sara! So cool to see how life is evolving for you! As a mom I
am having some trouble with radically accepting my 24!yr. old
kid’s fourth (not small) tattoo. I remind myself that it’s not my
journey /nor my body/ and yet it's hard to shake the feeling that
some of this is a form of distraction for dysregulated or at
least high anxiety.. again not my pain either. As a mom I am
pained by the feeling that there will be regret with healing and
recovery. I know you have surface embellishments as well and can
see how these don’t impede your happiness. I hope for this for my
loved one."
