A digital tattoo is like your digital identity. It is what someone who researches your name online sees. Its like a tattoo because it is an expression of oneself. It is made by you and what you post and also by what people post about you.
A way to protect or manage your digital tattoo is by looking what people see when they search your name through some websites like http://www.google.com/ or http://pipl.com/. Two other good websites I found were http://www.spokeo.com/ and http://www.reputation.com/, in the first one you can see what you are searched as and in the second one you can control your "digital tattoo"
Learning about the digital tattoo really made me think about what I post on the internet. I never thought one little comment could somehow haunt you later in life. It also can help you but you just have to be very careful when you post something or say something. From here on out, I probably will be a lot more careful than I used to be. I need a good looking "digital tattoo" ;)
