Sorry to hear that you've been stressed out lately. Actually, I think it's good that you're looking for something else to do instead of self-harming in other ways. Although, if you're just doing it for the pain of the tattoo, then it's considered self-harm. Plus, I wouldn't recommend it unless you truly want the tattoo and the tattoo is meaningful to you. Otherwise you might regret it and getting tattoos will become a compulsion that you'll later regret.
If it is for the pain from getting the tattoo, are there any other alternatives you can use to refrain from hurting yourself? Do you have any distractions or hobbies in your life that you can do during all this? Might help to keep your mind off things. You could also take a look at the self-harm alternatives list if you haven't already and try some things on there. There's lots of things on there that cause sensations that may help with urges. Like holding an ice cube on yourself for example. Feel free to PM me if you need.
