This isn't in a self harming way, but more in a way of intrigue. Bruises, scratches, cuts, it's always ended up with me almost admiring them. I've raised kittens and one really loved to play, i hated the pain but i'd have a litter of small scratches on my hands/arms and i always caught myself staring at them. I never had the intention of going out of my way to have them again but of course in the way of possible injury there's just some sort of dopamine(?) That comes with it.
