It looks like a Mertailor latex tail, but I don't think he doesn't make them anymore ;)

Yes its a pool with a weighted backdrop in it. The plants are fakes with weighted bottoms. Its a latex mertailor tail. Its pretty old. I need a new one. The latex and paint are all coming off from around the top and cracking. Its always served me well though. Fits well and never bags when I swim and never has gotten a bunch of water in the fluke or anything. This was actually really funny because I had to swim so carefully around the plants and such. My fins kept thrashing all of them over if I swam to low.

None of these are in my tail, but my sister just got awesome new camera over break. We, along with our other younger sister, had a photo shoot :) They were taken by a river and I'm wearing starfish earrings, so I figured it sort-of counted for a winter mermaid :)

You can see the river in this one;

From what I can see, it looks more like a Mermaid Creations tail (the fluke ridges are more pronounced), but I could be wrong.

These are from about 2 months ago but I never posted them on here.
Here is me in my white sequin tail and iridescent accessories all made up anime style!
Since I love cosplaying so much i wanted to do an anime theme shoot for my white tail. I used 15mm black circle lenses and dolly eye makeup giving me a surreal and cartoonish look.
I did all the designing and makeup myself.
Also am modeling a few of my items available on my new Etsy shop :D

Hope you guys like them!

These are great, all! I'll have to back-track to check the older photos in this thread. Ilonka, looks like I'm not the only mer with a white tail. Good to see Delphine has cousins. XD You look fin-tastic! Love the white & iridescent theme! What did you use as skin adhesive to stick your sequin-scales on? I had looked into a special skin glue, however could not find one that still works underwater. In your look, the scales (in your tail & on your skin) are one of my favorite parts! :) The silvery-white wig is lovely, like moonlight. Funny enough, I'd also considered one, however didn't want to deal with swimming in a wig. Anyone on here have experience doing that?

Today, I had my "official" underwater shoot, though my makeup is.. well, my makeup artist described as "like a watercolour." I love it & will share photos soon. I have to take a look at how they turned out & watch the video clips. Perhaps I can make a gif? Although I've never made one, I have seen some cool merfolk ones on MN before.

Thank you so much!
Iv always loved the way white looks in art and costumes, makes things look angelical and otherworldly.
The glue i used isnt waterproof (although the makeup seller claimed it was) Its Mehron brand, most of my special FX makeup products are either from them or Ben Nye, they make the best and most affordable special FX supplies.
The best way to wear a wig underwater is to braid your hair (like in corn rows) and pin the wig onto your braids OR use a silicon swim cap and punch holes into it using hair pins to pin the wig onto it. Basically you need an anchor for allot of pins to keep the wig on. In most of my underwater shoots I have used extensions, i definately recomend using clip ons over a wig, less of a hastle.

Cant wait to see your pics!

I started in January, I spent a lot of time to make my foam's scales board and my molds, and after that approximately 2/3 weeks to finish the rest of the tail ^^
But I had to hurry because I had a photo shoot this weekend! I thought I'd never make it !

Nope, it's still too small for me ://
My feet actually have giant cuts on the top lol.
Like I said Claire, that is a DAMN good tail for you making it your first time.
You hid the seam with the dorsal fin, correct?

Love the bad mermaid shoot haha so awesome.

Rayeblonde, which color will be your new tail ?

I didn't even know you could use a zipper on a silicone tail. Is it pure silicone? Or does your tail have a backing on it behind the silicone? I just don't know about a zipper because of the possibility of it breaking.

I'm not sure which color yet I can't decide. :/

I have spandex behind the silicone, my zip is sewn to spandex and silicone and seams are reinforced with more silicone ! For now it works ^^

I wonder... could you use a swimcap and coat it in e600 while it's on and carefully apply the wig over the top (i'd braid all the hair up out of the way)?

The two middle ones are small and crappy to avoid stretching the page a bunch--please view them in full and 4 other pictures here (http://imgur.com/a/H4v1N)!!

It was super cold, but definitely worth it! I made a makeshift monofin out of craft foam, duct tape, and flip flops to use for the shoot instead of buying a new one and having it shipped :)

EDIT: Oh, it did a weird thing with sizing anyway?? Maybe because I didn't have them "referenced locally" because that just gave me a whole bunch of problems : / Anyway, click the link for the nice bigger images :)

At what stage of that process are you having problems? A photo-inserting mechanism exists in the toolbar of messages. You can upload from your computer or insert a URL, and BAM! You'll have your photos in your message.

These all look great! So how do you guys actually find an underwater photographer? I live in MI and I can't find any... also do you cut deals with them or anything? My only experience with one was doing my senior pictures and to get digital copies of the photos you had to pay a large fee :P

Mermaid Varshana
05-28-2013, 04:10 PM
Go to ModelMayhem.com and see if the site will let you browse. Many photogs have websites listed on their portfolios. PLENTY do trade shoots (ie, no cash involved). Especially for a pretty girl with a high end mermaid tail.

Mermaid Lilium
05-28-2013, 08:24 PM
yep, look for photographers who will work 'TF' aka Time for - (the photos)

I wouldn't be scared to approach bigger photographers too because some of them will have professional underwater housings (which cost as much as one of raven's basic tails - just for the housing to fit their high end camera). I know that I would jump at the chance if I were nearby and I'd have access to film dive cameras from my college, but sadly I'm in the UK :P

Moongazer, I don't have shots on my website of just the tail, though there are close-ups of the scale textures on there. Thanks, it's much more pearly in real life.. maybe I just need more light to display the shimmer better.


your scales are so little... 0.0


Haha, hi Dottie. My scales are smaller than most mermaid tails I've seen here, yes. The larger scales from my waist to my knees are each about the size of an almond. The smaller, from knees to fluke are the size of my pinky fingernail. I wanted a natural flow to them, like on the bettas and goldfish I'd been studying.



Beautiful tail!


Spottedcatfish, thank you! It makes me glad you enjoy it. :)

Raina! These are lovely! I'm particularly drawn to your first three, though all are lovely. When did you get an updated tail? Did Raven do it? Hey cool, now your's tail has pelvic fins like the Delphine tail! Love the strong contrast you got with the gold & black. It seems more.. alive, somehow.

I'm working with the Pirate Festival this year and had to have a photoshoot done for their magazine and a trading card for the kiddies. Here's some of the pictures we took. Some were edited as well for "fun" effects such as backgrounds and lighting but I love them all the same.

I'm so excited! I FINALLY got the husband to take me to the river after work for a quicky photo/video shoot, and I'm so happy with my tail right now!
I love the sequins (I'll actually probably be finishing the whole tail in sequins) I'm content for now though lol
I will be putting videos up soon on all my accounts; youtube, deviantart, instagram (some already up ^_^) and my Facebook of course lol

Went to Lake Erie with some friends last weekend! She's a sailor, and before I ever had a tail or even knew mermaiding was a thing, I've told her I'm going to swim up to her boat and lure her into the waves like a siren :) So we took some fun pictures.

Henna, henna, henna. If you want to be a redheaded mermaid, HENNAING your hair is the only way to go. It's as easy as mixing brownies, you can freeze what you don't use, so whatever paste you make will last forever. And the good body art quality stuff DOESN'T fade once it oxidizes in your hair. I wish I'd discovered it when I was still redheaded.

I used to get my hair hennaed at a local beauty school. They were pretty cheap, and it meant i didn't have to deal with the muss and fuss myself! Like MV says, the color lasts for months!

Oh yeah, I've heard great things about henna dye. Doesn't leach nutrients from your hair like bleaches and dyes do either!! In fact it can do a lot to restore your hair.

I'm afraid of dying mine, but I might try it someday :) I too loooove red hair, but mine's brown. When I was very little it was blond, but it gets darker every year.

YES! Henna is absolutely AWESOME! I use hennasooq henna as well, but a henna/cassia mix since my hair naturally has red highlights. This makes it so that my natural color is only a few shades off from the hennaed and my roots don't show. (YAY!) Henna can be a bit difficult to work with and take more time than some dyes, but the lasting power and hair benefits are so worth it.

Okay, I was going to wait until I could get the full set of photos from my photographer (there are some behind-the-scenes shots I wanted to show y'all), but she's being a bit slow. So: TA DAH! The "full" results of my Pamtography shoot at the lake!

I use cassia obovata (it is blonde toned henna like plant). It wont lighten your hair but if your hair is light it wont turn it red. It helps me with length retention I think by making the hair stronger since I am determined to grow my hair to tail bone length or classic length.
I LOVE That tail Thalassa

I'm REALLY hard on my tail, so I'm getting it touched up a bit. I'm also getting more added to the top, because I like my tail to come up high (sort of like Raina's does) so there's NO chance of "mermaid crack," haha!
