I recently did some work on mine to for my new mahina fin. The sequins color shift from green to purple and I found four way stretch spandex that does the same!

Oh wow! I have seen this fabric in two way, my best friend has a tail made of it, but I haven't seen it in 4 way. I need to find some of that!

^^ hello! I figured I should go with the flow and post my own fabric tail. I had a previous tail that was white with orange accents for a koi theme, but I'm liking this odd blue/green and gold blend that ended up much brighter than I expected. I have larger pectoral fins because being a bit larger myself I like having something that brings my size in context.
I may have missed most of summer, but I'm covered for my Halloween at least!

I've just purchased a silicone fluke for a costume for Halloween . The top is going to be textured and the bottom flat. Originally I wanted to attach it to a piece of long fabric but I think it would look more realistic with some type of long flat silicone piece about 4 feet maybe with scales and then I would attach it to a piece of fabric around my waste. The character I have in mind is Poseidon half man and half fish. Any suggestions ? Thanks a bunch where can I purchase something before Halloween

I made my tail with spandex. The scaled fabric comes from Etsy, the pink one and the one used for fins comes from a fabric store in my city.

Kitson that is truly magnificent. The stripe pattern near the opening reminds me of a leopard shark, and fins fit it to a tee. As for the fluke, absolutely awesome. Somehow it reminds me of a butterfly, but still captures an aquatic nature very well. You look amazing in that tail.

Your tail is absolutely stunning. It really suits you too. Mernation just seem to be keep getting better and better.
And I feel you with the not being able to see! For me, the worst thing about swimming without my prescription goggles is not being able to make eye contact with anyone, even if they're right next to me (and we're not underwater!) It always makes me feel sort of exposed... and isolated. It's not easy to explain! But I hate it.

Thanks Saelyyia! Your new tail looks great on you too!
LouLouBelle, I understand exactly what you mean. :( It's especially tough when kids see you and you can hear them getting all excited, but can't make sense of where the noise in coming from. I remembered trying to explain to a young one (back when I used my Fin Fun tail) why I couldn't swim away from the edge of the pool to play with her. I feel like blindness isn't the easiest thing for them to understand unless they've dealt with it, and it always makes me feel bad knowing I can't go out and swim around with others safely even though I know some would really love to splash in the water with a mermaid. At least we still bring smiles though, right? :)
Neerai- Oh my gosh! I am so, so, sooo happy to hear that you decided to go for it! The mermaid world is a better place with you in it! :hug: Thank you for everything, sweetie!

Hi All! It's been a while since I've posted here. I recently whipped up a new tail skin for an appearance with Halifax Mermaids when I couldn't find my silver sequin fabric tail.
Check out my black glitter-dot tail! It's the high-quality jersey glitter-dot fabric. I made it for over my black Mahina Merfin so that the monofin actually shows through. I haven't swam with it yet. (I haven't swam at ALL since the winter!!)

One of my first times out with my first fabric tail. I pulled it in around the legs and it fits sooooo much better. I pretty much hate the fluke and everything about it though :(. Now I know for next time.

One of my first times out with my first fabric tail. I pulled it in around the legs and it fits sooooo much better. I pretty much hate the fluke and everything about it though :(. Now I know for next time.

New FinFun, shot while I was being extra lazy.
My first tail (not FinFun) was too short, and would pull over my rear as I swam. Thus I have, up to now, bought custom skins from FinFun. But this tail is not offered in custom sizes. I took a chance that their adult large would fit. It did!

My FinFun tail came in yesterday and I tried it out today, it's pretty sweet! Went for the Tidal Teal. I told myself that I wouldn't get a blue one since the "blonde hair blue eyes blue tail" mermaid is pretty cliche, but I loved this design so much! Tomorrow I'm gonna go pick up a purple seashell swim top, it's gonna look really nice with this tail! I hope I can get to a meetup sometime soon.

The purple one is from planet mermaid it is discontinued tail color they have new ones with scales this was my first tail ever owned.

Haven't been too active on here, but should get a bit more active now that the weather is (hopefully) getting warmer. I did, this past winter, picked up a new tailskin as I wanted a bit of an updated version with a better design. It's another Fin Fun, their Tidal Blue tail! Kind of goes along with my last tail which was a solid blue. I took a few selfie pics with it on, but none of them turned out that good so I'll try again at a later point! Looking forward to test swimming in this one!

Haven't tried it on yet for fit though, but at least I now have a monofin I can get my feet into with only a little struggle!

Yeah you can use a digital program for this, which is what I did for these two designs. You just gotta treat it differently, and not save as a .jpg file (you'll be stuck with horrific pixellations if saved as a .jpeg!). It can be a little tricky pulling the actual image from the pdf file, and then prepping it for proper use, but worth the greater flexibility in customization!

I didn't actually post my design. I just mentioned I was working on one. :U (Unless you were talking about my art that I have linked in my sig, in which case thanks!)
(you'll be stuck with horrific pixellations if saved as a .jpeg!).
This depends entirely on the quality and psi you save it as. If you leave it at the standard 72psi that most internet image files are saved as, then yes, this will be a problem. Most prints in order to have decent quality need to be saved at the very least 150, but most professionals don't recommend going less than 200. Personally, when I plan on printing an image, save it at a resolution of 300psi. This lets the image preserve it's detail, even if you save it as a JPEG.
The reason I suggest saving a digital Finfun tail design as a JPEG is because it is specifically the file type Finfun asked for when uploading any design that isn't a photo.

This depends entirely on the quality and psi you save it as. If you leave it at the standard 72psi that most internet image files are saved as, then yes, this will be a problem. Most prints in order to have decent quality need to be saved at the very least 150, but most professionals don't recommend going less than 200. Personally, when I plan on printing an image, save it at a resolution of 300psi. This lets the image preserve it's detail, even if you save it as a JPEG.
The reason I suggest saving a digital Finfun tail design as a JPEG is because it is specifically the file type Finfun asked for when uploading any design that isn't a photo.[/QUOTE]
Fair enough, I went with the .png route (brain skipped on the initial reply and put .png instead of .jpg - doh XP ) a long time ago at a defauly 300 psi for all my illustrations, and use it out of habit now.
Oddly I didn't see anything about the files needing to be JPEG, but they didn't say anything about it being PNG, so I guess if saved right, it could be either file then.

My first tail came today! I am taking it to my family reunion this weekend, where we have a pond that I can try it out in.
(I also have an aunt that can swim fantastically, who is going to be my spotter, and a lifejacket to start me out with since it will be my first time with a monofin.)
It's a Fin Fun Sunset Sky. It's even better than I could have hoped for. 4343343434

I’ve poured my own resources into getting it started so have asked the companies to donate one but noone has responded yet. If anyone knows of someone who makes them that isn’t a small mom and pop company that can afford to donate one it’s a tax write off and for a good cause. (Raising money for the endeavor as a mermaid)

No one of that caliber is going to give away a free tail. Who is going to cover the costs of making the tail when there is no incoming money to pay for it all. Those things are expensive for a reason.

How is Jaffa being rude to you? She is just telling you that no one is going to give you a free tail. Do you really think that someone will give you something that's easily over $2000 for free? I had to work and save up for a very long time until I had the funds to buy materials to make my silicone tail, which by the way took 2 years for me to make. The dragonskin silicone alone cost me over $400. Silicone tails are expensive for a reason; the cost of the materials and the time and effort it takes to make just one tail. No one is going to give you things for free, you have to work for them. Also, I don't think that someone would want to do business with you, considering that you threw a hissy fit when we told you that no one would get a tail worth thousands of dollars for free.

Mermaid Jaffa was not trying to be rude to you, she was simply stating the fact that most companies would not send a free tail to anyone, unless they see a Return On Investment, usually publicity to a wide audience (thousands+) in the mermaid community. If you can offer that to them, then maybe you might be lucky to get a free tail but otherwise you need to be realistic.
If you can't afford a tail you can always consider sewing your own fabric tail or casting your own silicone tail.

Theres just really no reason to need a free tail for advocating suicide prevention. Its perfectly possible to do that without a free tail.

I mean, it shouldn't be TOO hard if you've got a good ed program for suicide prevention to get a grant so you can pay a tailmaker. I'm sure with a legit tax write off from your 501(c)3 and payment to cover the cost of materials, a donation shouldn't be TOO hard to secure.
But you need an existing program for donations of that magnitude, not "I'm starting one up." May I recommend some classes on nonprofit management? They're cheaper than a silicon tail if you're not doing the full degree program, and there's a number of universities who offer them online.

Thanks for the backup my mercousins!
This goes for everyone that joins and tries to beg a free tail...
Its like I said, these tails that you want, they cost thousands of dollars to make. Even if one did find the cheapest of cheap silicone tail, chances are the materials are not safe for human use. Would you want to wear something that's going to make you sick? Or injure you in some way?
No. That's why tail makers use top quality products and in doing so they have to increase the price of the finished product. That's why its so expensive. If you want a tail that bad, get a fabric tail and paint it up so it looks more realistic. Or even better, paint it up using skin safe silicone to get textured scales and fins.

Mermaid Elisa, If you know how to sew you can make your first tail pretty easily. That gives you something at least until you can save up. Most big tailmakers do not do this, b/c honestly there are alot of great causes to donate too, so it makes it hard for them. Good luck

Scrapdragon said, more eloquently than I would have, exactly what you need to hear.
Please post a link to your non-profit status (503c) and an outline of your plan on how exactly you intend to use mermaiding as a therapeutic tool in the prevention of depression and suicide.
Also, hawking your all-natural supplements is not a thing that is done here, either. Go back and read the rules for Mernetwork.
Also, tell us of your "major company offer". I would love to know how I can give away multiple thousands of dollars of work in return for a fraction of that in the form of a tax incentive from your yet-to-be-revealed non-profit.

I've been dieting for a year now, I'm not even going to think about silicone until I hit my goal weight and know I can maintain it, especially with the roughly 2-year wait for production.
Right now I'm eyeing the mertailor royal angel tailskin, but I'm trying to figure out if I can get away with using my finfun monofin with it. I'd rather not buy the $150 fantasea monofin if I don't have to [emoji850] but, I don't want to ruin the skin either, so I haven't pulled that trigger yet.

Hi everyone! Jurassic Merman here. I have been sort of lurking for a little while haha. Right now I just have some custom Fin Fun tails and a neoprene from Mertailor, but I should be getting a silicone soon! I can't wait to post pics of it when I get it! I spent months on the design.
Nice to meet you all! Also the pics are only uploading really tiny for some reason :headwall: but you can always go to my instagram lol.

Mine never turn out as neat...If you get fishnet leggins, throw them over your face and apply makeup, it looks like that. And also, YOU LOOK FREAKING AWESOME I'D HIGH FIVE YOU IF THE CYBERSPACE WAS A PHYSICAL WORLD! The tail and colors look spectacular!

Thank you guys so so much! I was so nervous for over two years to go out in public or post any photos of myself.
That was actually a professional photoshoot my friend bought me for my birthday (and it was the first time I was brave enough to go out in public with a tail; after that, I was hooked!) and the make up artist did it. I have absolutely no idea how to apply makeup and had never worn it before, but they used fishnet stockings to apply the two colors.

So here I am...
My first tail - got this through Splashtails over East (Australia), they import The2Tails goods. It's pretty manoeuvrable and zippy. This is in Mandurah estuary.https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/xBS1ILpffgHbVYyIJzxpgraa-7WNAXkTXp1OguDPFw5Ey-rnDDP30t5r2VCENSyMSMDso1Hh-MzApmMAvCFAUeTHGwl82GARCkooNHF_KiHIZ4FXP8tekg9N7QI jJ4PRIGqKnVWw9Z44iNOHwz9E1_9TyqRMTJFTw9d3I5G_uMPW8 _lRnMBom6IWPZ1fbJcpE6c6uUM8e3Yb5MRVOSfd3Yg7cB16joK XgBT8T4q89melj4K3iJgM5gjDgBAGkSzPfopXPK4worz1bAt1B 4qi-N-p1bxQxTlErkYD7vVV-HHB0tPB20MZuZ2j_6KGOKIwlbFmUnH60RDdkF2LL2YV5ld2fm8 IwZlTG90y4ZP7A4j5vtLGYdFLtgC9wMgdZENG6pN6N1IZKcDFg jmOt57BrOTVbP9xTUzGhJJMnEq1FHbnPoGcXEiX2XTZZG1hyDi 7mJHrqOmf8Y_geBVn-MggWFyptlGpyGMqpsRN4vdczkLzM2-P1qNjXh95mv7J_1FV0oCpkGuL_BpljH9vq3YkFlSQk8TElpGYJ 0D4FDNPEn4BDNrp7b5F_0sTOfNI_DtqfEhXap8ULfjY2dSblJE qaTPc0nryU2rSTISd_yrJvqXo2rDLyTfil2PuGq0powo-OhlO2kDvEx6uwPHcPJdjttd-kZy_PS5yBw=w1914-h1276-no
Rob and I decided to "splash" out before the GST on imports hit and got ourselves Swimtail Pros. Apart from the anticipated Mahinas rubbing as we forgot our socks, they've been awesome. I had to have mine taken in a bit, the sizing was generous - would've been a perfect fit for non stretch material. I love the top!

Thank you MerFantasy. I am speculating about dressing up the green one, I'd love some lateral fins and a dorsal one too, or a dorsal crest/fringe, but I'm not one of nature's sewing people and I've never done any of this sort of crafting. So I'm hoping my husband, who IS one of Nature's sewing people, can take a look.

Thank you so so much! I was nervous about being teased for being a guy in a tail. And I have been teased a handful of times, but I have gotten more compliments than complaints. I also find safety in numbers lol! I usually don't swim by myself. I feel like once I get my silicone tail though with how much $$ I am spending on it I better get a ton of use out of it lol! :lol:

How XTREMELY rude of u!! Your reply should have commended me on this altruistic endeavor !!!!I can see you are low-energies and I don’t want to correspond or connect with anyone like yourself… By the way I’ve already had a major company offer ....
“You... should have commended me on this altruistic endeavor!”
You sound full of it, dear. Picked up a dictionary to make yourself look like a hero rather than just looking for a handout. I don’t trust you.

Yeah, sorry, it’s just someone who claims to be altruistic is obviously out for their own gain. As a mer who has struggled with depression and suicidal ideologies my whole life, it boils my blood to see someone use real sufferers as an excuse for personal profit. But yeah, I digress.
In relevant news, I’m working on my first tail after lurking the forums for several years, I should soon have the funds for neoprene. I’m planning on using sequins for scales, so wait for it! I’ve already made my jewelry.
