I very much understand the desire. A common suggestion is holding an ice cube in your hand, as it hurts due to the cold without hurting you. And the melting sensation of it in your grip can be satisfying. Additionally, snapping a rubber band or something similar against your skin can hurt, but again, will not do much damage. If these are not enough, something I tend to do, that, while admittedly is not good, helps me satiate those feelings, is to take a very hot shower in the dark. The water burns and it hurts a great deal, and I enjoy it sometimes, but ultimately, it will not cause much damage. Worst case, you will heal entirely after a few days with no scars.
Unfortunately, no, as the inclusion of salt will make it more dangerous than it is worth doing. The ice on it's own will not do any damage, but adding salt will.
