I get them for me because I like the art or the concept or what-have-you; I get them for me and -if someone else likes them- awesome, but others' opinions don't really phase me. It's far from a rebellious act in this day and age, and anyone getting them for that reason is silly.
I enjoy the sensation* of getting a tattoo as much as the final product. Oddly, it's almost like an addiction. Even just thinking about the sound of a tattoo gun makes me want more.
* I don't mean that in a sexual/erotic way; it's just enjoyable to me for some reason
You could probably get a tattoo gun and don't load it with ink, for a little at home massage therapy. It'd probably mess up your skin long term though if you used it much. Try an electrical massager, some of the more spendy versions have very hard settings. Or try some acupuncture sessions.
