Could a Jew become a cyborg?

By cyborg I mean someone that applies technology to their body in order to change or enhance their physical abilities or senses. I don’t know much about Jewish law, but I read somewhere that it’s a sin to purposefully cut yourself, and that’s why tattoos are taboo. Does this rule apply to things like implants, or bionic limbs that are detachable? Where is the line drawn?

P.S. if this question is too silly please report it and/or let me know so it can be taken down
