Black mermaid tails?

[mermaid-ryuga]

I've been trying to find a black mermaid tail, but so far I can't find one. Could you guys help? Pics would be nice!!!

[Mermaid Lorelei]

You could have one made by a tailmaker. We have a list of many tailmakers to look through.

Unless you're just looking for a picture of one, in which case you might just google it.

[Bellasea]

Merman Chris has two, both are black based.
Mermaasai also has a darker tail (I think hers is more brown though).
*Celine* also has a dark tail. I don't think it is finshed yet.
MermaidCaitlin has a grey/black snake skin-ish tail.

Those are just the tails I remeber. All are member here so you can see their tails on here.

[MermanJV]

My tail, currently being made, Is mostly black, with red markings. They look pretty cool. <3

[Ayla of Duluth]

I absolutely LOVE mermaasai's tail. I want a dorsal fin like hers so bad!
Lady Gaga had a black tail from the Mertailor, I think there's still pictures up on his websites.

[Bellasea]

what!? ^^

[MermaidRaegan]

Mertailor sells black latex tails, and any custom tail maker can make you a black tail. :D Mermaasia has two tails that are black and gold, she repainted one of them when it was brownish gold. You can also youtube black mermaids and get some videos of people with black tails. :) I myself am working on two black tails.

[Bellasea]

off topic: may I ask how many tails you have?

[Aradia]

I swim with a full black tail and a redish brown scaled tail with a black base although on camera it looks full black too. The only thing i'd caution about getting a black tail is that if you want to do kids events, kids will respond better to colourful tails or at least that has been my experience.

[Mermaasai]

oh Ayla! Thank you! Indeed- a black tail here ^.^ though not all black... my next tail will probably very close to entirely black though. I have two- a fabric one with black and gold that I made:

and one that was made by mermaid parties (with a little minor tweaking by me):

Black just goes with my ink.. and my looks in general. Dark n sharp ^.^
I hope you go with black or dark, not enough dark mers out there I say lol

I want to go with a black silicone tail with slight gold highlights(just glimmery ones on the bottom edges of the scales and along the edge of the fluke.. With a black top of netting and gems and small gold flakes. And then I wanna make some fore-arm fins that blend into my skin with sharp edges and claws kind of like these but considerably more blended with my hands lol:

and lastly a necklace piece in black pearls and gems and gold slivers that look some what like this:
3329

^.^ sooo.. yeah black is awesome.. I hope you find what you are looking for!!!!

[Azurin Luna]

The tail I'm making now was planned to be black with iceblue stripes and fins, but my bf didn't agree with the colors :/ So it became blue instead

[Raivynn]

I've also noticed a major aversion to black tails. I think part of it is the subconscious affiliation of black with the goth scene. It's dumb, but true. A lot of people assume because you wear all black, you're "gothic" -- and I've been given this stereotype for YEARS. I simply prefer monochromes to color -- my tail is black and white, but guess what? It's SMOTHERED IN GLITTER!! Just because I didn't want it in color, doesn't mean it can't shine!

The kids at the pool don't seem to mind that my tail is mostly black on one side. They think it's pretty cool. I have had some haters, but they were teenagers who were necking in a public place!! I swear, they never went far enough away from each other to convince me they were two separate people ... BUT ...

Black tails are awesome, and look amazing! I wonder if mermaids think black is a slimming color, too ....

[Mermaid Fenicia]

I made a black tail with some white accents ;) http://users.telenet.be/the-mermaid/pics/fenicia/meermin04.htm

[MermanJesse]

I would be willing to take an order for a solid black Silicone Mermaid Tail.

I would give it my own little twist though. <evil laugh>

[deepblue]

I love black tails myself. But then I do tend to be the 'usually wears black' type, and if people want to associate it with dark subcultures, I'm fine with that- they've been my second home for over 20 years. I'm more comfortable in the Dark. :) Perhaps that is where my love of the deep sea comes from, too.

I'd like a black tail. But I'd also like one in mostly blues, which are my favorite colors. Either would match my hair, and I like the idea of a tail matching my hair... sort of brings it all together.

[Merman Ray]

Mermaasai, while I think your black tail is really nice, the hand claw reminds me of "A Nightmare on Elm Street".

[seagirls626]

Mermaasai, we love your tail...where did you get your mermaid acsessories?

[Zephyr]

I ordered a black tail :) I saw it in the pic on the website I ordered from. Originally I was planning on getting maybe a gold or red tail (though as a kid I wanted a blue tail) since I wear black all the time as it is and wanted to do something different. However, the tail was one of those ones that looks best in black, and black can go with just about anything, so I'm satisfied with choosing a black tail.

[happyguava]

I swim with a full black tail and a redish brown scaled tail with a black base although on camera it looks full black too. The only thing i'd caution about getting a black tail is that if you want to do kids events, kids will respond better to colourful tails or at least that has been my experience.

Except when they decide it's actually purple. Or blue. Or some other random colour :P

[laamberry]

I made this one for a client! 5877

[Azurin Luna]

I'm wanting a black tail too, but I want it all smooth, maybe only a few slight ridges on the tail but nothing more and neon blue colored fins. I might post a picture of what I have in mind.
But my bf is afraid I will look fat in an tail like that :(

[Ophelia]

Your boyfriend didn't like the colors and your boyfriend dared to say you'd "fat" in a smooth black tail?

Sounds like your boyfriend needs a tail-slap to the mouth.

[Mizuko]

I made myself a black tail recently, with gold accents! Theres some very short footage of me swimming in it on youtube somewhere... XD

[Maple]

I would love, love, love a tail based on Yuyi

I'm really digging the neckpiece

[*Celine*]

Bellasea: thx for mentioning me, I, indeed, have a "dark" tail :-p, it's grey with blue accents AND the tail is finally finished
check my "how I made my tail thread":http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?2487-Another-quot-How-I-made-my-neoprene-tail-quot-thread

:-D I have a photo shoot next week with the tail, stay tuned for pics :-)

He really hurt me with that comment so I made a blue tail instead that you can see on my deviantart site. He also said that kids wouldn't like mermaids with black tails because they would automaticly think that you would be evil...

But I'm still longing to make or get a black tail... I'm just going to sketch the tail and then show it

[Azurin Luna]

As promised, my tail design. The picture (http://mernetwork.com/index/album.php?albumid=235&attachmentid=6286) is a work in progress

[Morticia Mermaid]

Thats really cool looking. I like it :)

[Little_Orca]

My first tail was a black tail. Somehow that made me think I was thinner than I was when I started. *Giggle*

[Morticia Mermaid]

My first tail is going to be black :) But I love black

[Azurin Luna]

Thats really cool looking. I like it :)

Thank you, I hope I can make it someday from silicone

[Mermaid Saphira]

I made a few tails designs w/ black accents...

i love black tails, there really should be more.

[Dacora]

I plan on having a black tail, but I want my first tail to be a calio goldfish tail so it will have to wait. :p

I make black fabric tails (monofin not included)... you can find it here on ebay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/230846958561?var=&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1558.l2649

Not sure if you were looking for a fabric one or a more "realistic" tail but figured I would through it out there, just in case I had what you are looking for..

[telzey.amberdon]

That is what I have. Most excellent piece for the price. Thank you Star, for your work.

[mermaid daniella]

i'm new to the merworld and i have to say i am SO impressed by all the creativity! mermaasai i LOVE the fins on your black/gold tail they look absolutely beautiful in the water and the tail by merberry ^^^ is super freakin awesome too! i'm all about black... barely started incorporating some color in my wardrobe this summer... but black is always the automatic go-to!

[mermaid daniella]

that's awesome. it would be cool if it could glow or light up!

[Mermaid Saphira]

that's awesome. it would be cool if it could glow or light up!

glow in the dark fabric paint or LED paints may possibley work to, as you say, "light it up!" :)

[Trade Winds]

Aside from the fact that you replied to an 8 yr old thread, can you believe we still don't have very many black tails? You got Fin Fun and Mertailor for the easy access if you want all black. Previously Swimtails. Aquarius if you want to spend way too much. To a lesser extent, Magictails has black. Lots of beautiful designs can be done with black, but noooooooooo we have to stick with the bright colors.

[johnleeex]

I bet this image is much older than 8 years:-) This type of scuba dive gear went out of style early 1970's. And then the only wetsuit color you could get was black. But the total outfit looks cool. Wonder if this was somehow related to Costeau?

[theMerFanc]

That image is actually from a video that was just released by Otterbay wetsuits a month or two ago.

[johnleeex]

Glad you localized this image - I forgot where it came from. Do you have a link to the video from Otterbay? Merci

[Trade Winds]

Otterbay

Thought that looked familiar.

You are the one that posted the link to the video in the other thread but...here ya go

[MermanOliver]

That image is actually from a video that was just released by Otterbay wetsuits a month or two ago.Well, it may have been *released* just recently, but it was *filmed* between 1989 and 2002, as stated in the credits. So the scenes are roughly 20-30 years old, which matches both the gear and the footage.

And despite what they state in the video description, scuba gear on the back and a mermaid tail don't mix too well. The tank stiffens precisely that part of the body you need to get a decent wave motion for propulsion.

Speaking of black tails, one of my finfolk fabric tails is predominately black, but has multicoloured spots and fluke.

[johnleeex]

yes, I posted that video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jiFYmxmk10 , but that image of the black suited mermaid is not from this video. I accidentally attributed the image to this video, but that was a mistake. It is not in the video.

[Cerulean.Mermaidd]

Idk if you're still looking for one, but Finfolk just announced they're making a black Mythic! https://www.instagram.com/p/CDRfkADDeVp/?igshid=a7y5k0hps5ti
