he’s… he’s literally inserting foreign objects under his skin and they’re both being glib about it. this movie hammered home so hard that jarvis really is tony’s son (only to kill him off with barely any mourning in his very next appearance gdi mcu)
they’re both joking and tony is wiping blood off his arm because it’s so casual now when he hurts himself. it’s so normalised it’s something jarvis snarks at him about but tony is performing a medical procedure on himself here
like, FUCK. tony may know what he’s doing but this definitely fucking counts as self harm. and it’s so normal for them
this isn’t just another example of tony thinking he’s better than the rules (that was never really his issue in the first place tbh but that’s another meta). it’s tony ignoring the rules in favour of hurting himself. jarvis asks him to slow down and take precautions as he’s going but he never says “maybe you shouldn’t do this sir”. because both of them think it’s okay for tony to hurt himself so he can better protect others
and then, when you think about tony as jarvis’ father? when you think about the example he has been setting? when you think about why jarvis was ready to sacrifice himself to become vision? well, is it really a surprise?
