Meetups in Finland?

[Mermaid_Maria]

Hey
Since i live in the land of lakes and i am lonely i was wondering if there are any small meetups in Finland and if not would anyone be interested if the finnish mers would sometimes do something along those lines. I currently have only one merfriend and it would be nice to meet more people here in Finland.

If you are reading this, have a beautiful day!

Yeah, but I've only seen less than 5 finnish mermaids that aren't kids :/ would be kinda weird for a 25 year old to hang out with them :D

[Mermaid_Maria]

Haha good point! :D

Finnish mer here! Don’t have a tail atm, but saving up for a silicone one :) I’m an 18yo girl and live in Central Finland.

Hi! Is your silicone tail your first one, my alarm bells went off, but of course i don't know you so I have no clue if you had tails before. I wouldn't recommend silicone as a first tail :'D
I personally live in Southern Finland with my roommate :D

Hi, oops! It’s not gonna be my first tail :D I’m gonna get a monofin first too, so I get a feel for mermaid swimming again, since it’s been some time since I’ve swam in a tail.

oh great, i just had a flashback xD. Anyways great to see other finnish mers! Me and my roommate are waiting for our mertailor whimsy tails, since currently i only have finfun and older silicone tail that i'm selling :)

ah, the whimsies are gorgeous! I already know I’m going to end up pulling out my hair waiting for my tail, because I have my mind set on a merbella studios one :’) Best case scenario it’ll be like 3.5 years before I get my tail... :p

I have Swamp Thang whimsy :) so rare in Finland that I only know 1 person other than me with Fantasea fin, whole tail was around 900 euros including customs and expensive shipping

I’ve heard really good things about the whimsies :) I’m actually kind of conflicted right now about whether I should actually save up so much money for the merbellas tail or get a whimsy or finfolk mythic tail to save money and time. I love how all the tails look, but there’s just that special something about mermaid raven’s work that I can’t find anywhere else, especially in other silicone tails. I’m not really interested in doing professional mermaid stuff, though, so a silicone tail might be too fancy/too much work tbh :/ What do you guys think? I would really appreciate another mermaid’s input (I’ve asked my boyfriend, but he can’t tell tailmakers apart :’D)

Merbella's waiting time is 2-3 years if you somehow manage to get a spot which I'm not sure are even available :/ Whimsy has least maintenance and you can put it on in water (main reason I got it). They look very realistic and move like a realistic tail too. I only swim in a lake and nobody can't carry me :D Also whimsy keeps you warm so you can swim longer if you use it outside :)

Oh my god, youtube videos don’t do the tails justice... I didn’t realize how detailed they are! I’ll seriously consider getting either a whimsy or a mythic, though :) Thanks for the picture!
