Ive been cosidering to perhaps start a life as a pirate.
So far ive been mining in both high and low-sec and everytime I see red blinking icons near me I get somewhat excited!!
I have always had the luck to escape safely this far, but everytime I think about those events Im considering piracy more and more.
Now I wish to continue mining but is that possible to combine these 2 lifestyles and be succesful in both?
Anyone here doing that?

Yes you can do both, however being better at one will impact your chance of success at the other.
How would you feel about slaughtering your mining buddies?
also as you pirate you wilol naturally become an outlaw preventign you from selling in highsec on that character.
I would either take another account and mine/pirate with that or try high sec pvp
Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it

Fortunately I have 3 accounts so I, when i listen to your advice, would have to let my miners/haulers mine and haul and have my combat account become the pirate?
Sounds understandable.
However, they are all in the same corporation - does this have consuquences for my other characters when they wish to enter high sec for ore sales?

Your characters are all independent from each others action.
The imapct your corp would have with your pirating depends on your copr, do they support your lust for piracy.
Once your pirate becomes an outlaw you will only be able to enter empire in your pod and not be fired at by the cops etc however people can easily squish your pod without fear of reprecussion - but thats where your other characters come in.

Continue mining for a bit while you work on your combat skills. While mining get stuff like Cruiser IV, Drones V, Drone Interfacing IV. They'll help both combat and mining. Then when you're confortable ISK and skill wise don the carebear suit and put on an eyepatch. 
No matter what race you fly, you can't go wrong with cruisers for belt piracy. Caldari get a bad rap but BlasterMoa is a great solo pirate ship. Blackbird can work too.

Dunno why but this made me think of a norwegian commercial from a few years back

If you have three accounts i think the decision to go pirate is quite simple.
Id be working out where your main hunting grounds will be so you can stock up supplies (ships/mods/drones/ammo) place jumpclones make bm's etc in those areas to save travelling because once red you wont be able to travel AFK ever... again.

join a lousy mining corp,
Turn up with a BS and scrambers when theres a hauler due.
Kill all then loot.

Nothing prevents a pirate from mining. If your sec gets bad then you can't do it in high sec, that is all.
Back in the day when SNIGG used to camp EC-P8R all the time, we'd rotate every few hours and have one guy mine crokite or npc while the rest of us camped. It worked out pretty well.
