Tigg's Tails (No longer making tails.)

[Fifi Tigg]

ADMIN EDIT: Tigg's Tails will no longer be making tails. At this time they will only be making accessories (Mermaid Heels, Bra's, Jewelry and Tail Wraps, etc.) Therefore this thread will now be closed, and their listing on the tailmaker page removed, as per Fifi's request.

I'm very excited to announce I'm opening up my studio Tigg's Tails to create handmade silicone/neoprene tails!
Each tail is unique as the scales/fluke are totally handmade, no moulds, so each tail may have it's own little imperfections and blemishes.
Tails are made from neoprene and an aquarium grade silicone.

Congrats! I'm happy that AUS Mers now have a local tailmaker! (And an awesome one at that!)

[Morganna]

Hey, not sure if I am just missing it, I saw the pricing on your silicone tails, but what is the pricing on your Neoprene tails? I am looking at buying one in the next 2-3 weeks.

[Raayvhen]

^Her tails are silicone coated neoprene, not pure silicone.

[Morganna]

Oh! Ok. Sorry, I misunderstood. :)

I still can't get over that adorable bumblebee mermaid. She's so frickin' cute!!

[Fifi Tigg]

Just a quick note on the silicone I use on these tails: Selleys Glass Silicone is an acetic acid curing 100% silicone, once cured it's safe for the fishes and safe for the mermaids :D

[Mermaid Galene]

Children's tails start from $500 (shipping not included)
Each tail is unique as the scales are totally handmade, no molds!
These are realistic tails for the budding little mermaid, the monofin is completely removable. You can start in the monofin and then once you have mastered that you can wear your beautiful handcrafted skin and live out your dream of becoming a mermaid!

[Moongazer]

How does the skin stay connected to the monofin when swimming? Or if that a secret? haha

[Vrindavana Starfish]

Those mini-mers are stinking adorable! Your tails are awesome!

[Fifi Tigg]

How does the skin stay connected to the monofin when swimming? Or if that a secret? haha

It sits snugly on the top half of the monofin which allows the water to flow through freely :)

[Fifi Tigg]

I've had two orders come in this week! Cannot wait to start!! :yay:

Fifi these are lovely! The re-done Fishbutts is great, too! :D

[Seraphina Suds]

Fifi, do you think that your hand squeezed scale technique would work on regular spandex? I want to do something to fix my tail besides painting it.

Fifi, do you think that your hand squeezed scale technique would work on regular spandex? I want to do something to fix my tail besides painting it.
I'm not sure? I've used it on neoprene and a stiff cotton fabric. Just buy one tube and do a test on a scrap piece of fabric :)

[Seraphina Suds]

Good idea! I'll give it a shot after the holidays and let you know how it turns out c:

That's almost exactly the route that I'm going with my Pearlie Mae silicone tail design! I think wings and tails go beautifully together!

The blueberry tail!!!! <3 :fallover:

Was just wondering if the silicone extends out from the neoprene in the fluke of the Tatsu tail, it looks so thin! :D

I wonder if we could see a closeup of the "seams"?

[Mermaid Coralia]

Lol they're invisible! I'll be sure to do an un-boxing videos once my tail comes! Can't wait!

[Fifi Tigg]

Yay! I would love that :D x

[Mermaid Coralia]

It probably won't be super great since I can only do it with my phone, but I can take a few videos, unboxing, first time trying it one, another to show the details, and maybe another for the first swim. Lol, I noticed there aren't any videos of that sort of thing from your customers so I thought I'd give it a try! You must be close to being able to be posted as a tail maker on here :)

[Mermaid Coralia]

The weather has been really bad here lately so I haven't had a chance to go out, but soon I should be able to do the tracing and make the second payment :)

[Fifi Tigg]

No worries :D x

[Mermaid Coralia]

Just an update! I finally paid off my tail. It was a total of 1,140 USD which includes neoprene socks, and the 200 dollar shipping from Australia to the USA. And everything on the tail is custom, including the fluke shape, size, and color/pattern. :) All I need to do now is send Fifi my measurements and a tracing of my legs and she can get started! And I'll even have it in time for summer! (since we're still in an arctic tundra over here :/ lol):cheerleader:

[Merenneito Nerissa]

Oh my god Fifi, these are gorgeous!!! I saw your work first when chatting with Riiarin and saw what you did to that tail you got, and I just couldn't believe it was that same tail :D You're so talented!

I especially LOVE those scales, they look like mix of normal fish scales and dolphin skin, creating this magical feeling of the real mermaid scales :D You know, how I could imagine they'd feel on a real mermaid tail's skin :)

[Fifi Tigg]

They actually do feel slippery when they are in the water :D

[Seraphina Suds]

I've been saving for a new tail and was gonna go with MerNation, but I really love the organic look of Fifi's work.

Would you charge extra for a larger tail body? I saw there's an upcharge for a larger fluke.

I can't wait to see how Kait's tail comes out!

[PearlieMae]

Your tails are so cool!

If your interested send me a quick message and I will send through the chart ;)

[Seraphina Suds]

Thanks! I'll pm you!

[MermaidShannon]

I just love all of these they are so different and distinctly yours

[AnnaAbyss]

Nice work Fifi! I think I followed your Instagram last night. :)

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Ooo! All are so pretty!

[Mermaid Coralia]

I can't wait to see my tail! I'm so excited for it! I've been making hair pieces and a top to try and distract myself from the wait, lol.

[Fifi Tigg]

Neoprene arrived today and the last pigment so all we are waiting for now is the measurements. Then it will be all systems go! :yay:

[Mermaid Coralia]

Yesss. They should be there any day now. I can't wait! :yay:

[Mermaid Coralia]

Yay Yulia! We can be tail sisters! The Fifi pod is growing! I'm so excited for you. Do you have a design/color scheme at all?

[Yulia]

It's going to be lightblue and pearlescent for the most part I believe. It's a very unique design!

[Mermaid Coralia]

Like the color scheme for your aurore tail? I loved your concept drawing for that tail!

[Yulia]

Yes it's a revamped version of that design! :>
I'm confident that Fifi will make it even prettier in real life.

[Seraphina Suds]

I'm so excited for you Yulia!

[Vrindavana Starfish]

Me too! After what you went through with your old tail, I'm so excited to see what Fifi does for you.

[Mermaid Coralia]

Ooo! Nice!!! Are the colors painted on or mixed in?

Painted on, I believe.

The pigments are dusted/painted on, and then sealed in a clear coat of silicone.

[Fifi Tigg]

Yes, your right Yulia and I do a couple of layers ;)

[Silva]

I LOVE your tails! One of these days...
Mermaid Coralia and Yulia, I'm so excited for both of you! Hope your tails turn out great!

I got a few for pictures of the whole tail, one whole side done! The work is going slowly because of the weather, and Fifi has had some setbacks, but I'm not complaining! She has been just a joy to work with so far, and always tries to hardest to give me updates and keep me a happy mer! I'm so glad I'm getting a Tiggs tail :mermaid kiss:

[Mermaid Coralia]

I'm just too excited! It still doesn't seem completely real that I'm finally getting a tail. And Fifi is doing sucha good job of bringing my sketch to life!<3

[Mermaid Coralia]

Photo dump! I've had quite a few updates the past couple days and I'm super excited to say...my tail is finished! :yay: Fifi has had quite a few set backs in making my tail and it has taken much longer than expected, so she graciously offered to make me a matching scale bra because she felt bad, and because she is such a sweetheart. So once the bra is finished my tail will be shipped out and I can finally take her for a swim!

[Mermaid Coralia]

Here are my concept sketches for a comparison, and I think she did a bangin' job.

Just went through the thread and your tails are amazing! You've gotten better and better :)

[Yulia]

A great thing with Tigg's Tails, progress is fast, you get pictures before each step for confirmation.
Rather that than a long long waitlist because of too much orders att the same time.

You would look great in a tigg's tail Seraphina! I hope you can get one later. <:

[Fifi Tigg]

Thanks Yulia and everyone for your lovely comments :D
Im just taking one order at a time so I can communicate and fully understand what my mermaid/merman wants.
I can do any design you like because it's all freehand with no moulds!
Cannot wait to start Yulias silicone tomorrow because it's going to be beautiful :mermaid kiss:

[Yulia]

Since it has been started, here's a little compilation of my design.
First is my revamped original design, next is the new flukeshape, and third is one of Fifi's WONDERFUL samples!
