Re: When Real Life Interrupts: Maintaining Separate Images & Personas

Hi Corvinda, good post, quite the modern dilemma :) I can relate, I am 29 and quite tattooed having worked in the music industry for a long time, now I find myself working on a parenting site (and being a Mum). Love my tattoos, no doubt, but I refrain from posting images of myself of this nature because unfortunately as it is - people do discriminate and develop pre-conceived notions about you - and a reputation is a very hard thing to shake. Some people/companies might instantly dismiss you for a promotion. Although there are quite a few very tattooed men as work, I still feel discrimination is at play for women.

I say keep them private and work more on amalgamating your personas.
Good luck.

Great post - couldn't agree more. Last year we mistakenly removed huge amounts of information which was valuable to particular parents on our site and it caused an uproar (rightly so). I blogged on this topic for those who want more tips!
