>Self hammers are literally destroying themselves permanently
No, they're not. That would be suicide.

>if you were just interested in stress relief or some strong feelings you woud use some way which cause no permanent damage
those those people do exact opposite they use razor blades that cause almost no pain at all but damage is enormous.
That's what a lot of former self-harmers regret the most. They were destroying their bodies just for temporary comfort. Is it worth in the long run? Not at all. Does it feel pleasant at the moment? Of course.

>skewering your hand with needle woud be far more painful and free of any permanent damage
Personally, I find needles kinda scary and don't use them. I'm not speaking for others, as I've read about people using them for self-harm. It's not uncommon.

It might be tied to suicide, but in a much more roundabout way than you think.
