All this seems like a slightly more socially accepted way of hating yourself and cutting your forearms. It's not a surprise to see goths in every single video/article about body hacking. Whether they operate safely or not is not a concern, because obviously this isn't about research or science, or becoming a cyborg by sticking wires up your ass. Its about making a fashion statement in the club and drawing attention. And while not every goth person or community is like that, it is a very prevailing characteristic.
