TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - Body modification and suicidal behavior JO - Death studies A1 - Hicinbothem, Julie A1 - Gonsalves, Sonia A1 - Lester, David SP - 351 EP - 363 VL - 30 IS - 4 N2 - In a large sample of individuals who belong to a website for body modification, having body modifications (e.g., piercings, tattoos, scarification and surgical procedures) was associated with a higher incidence of prior suicidality (i.e., suicidal ideation and attempted suicide). However, controls for self-reported depression weakened the strength of these associations.
