    I'd like to see someone in a see through tail but with muscles and ligaments painted on. Like those T-Shirts or swimsuits, that have the body's muscles painted on.

    I wonder if anyone's made a purposely camouflaged tail. I know some blue tails accidentally blend into the water, but I imagine if you were amazing at picking fabrics, painting your tail, and found a crazy talented photographer you could look like a floating torso. That would be very interesting

    I have seen camo spandex fabric used for a tail. I cant recall who made it.

    All of my tails are black, though they are accented with other colors on the fluke. I've found that black has a tendency to 'erase' details; you can see my scale patterns in most pictures, so it just looks like a flat black surface. Plus side! Dirt doesn't show up all that much on my tail, which is nice. My cats' fur on the other hand....

    Ive seen a few white tails, and I always adore them! I haven't seen many pink of pastel tails, but if I remember correctly Momo is making a tail with both that looks gorgeous.

    They make underwater camo neoprene wetsuits for spearfishing...

    x2 Recently I discovered that they have camo spearfishing wetsuits. Some of them are really pretty!
    Here is one in action (it would work better without the black bottoms)

    Then check out this beautiful one! I love the colors!

    There are dudes that are always spearfishing by my house, and they always have brownish camo color wetsuits on. A tail made with the wetsuit material like the one you posted would be beautiful! And if you added glitter or sequins to it... oh god... *drools* lol

    Very nice!

    My current tail, "Spot", is a red tail fashioned after the colors of a red drum/channel bass, state fish of NC (I'm an NC merman). My next tail, "Freckles", will be a black tail with abalone highlights in the pattern of a bobtail squid.

    Tail ideas I haven't seen yet:
    denim mermaid tail !
    mermaid tail made out of jacket patches /quilting
    mermaid tail made out of playing cards
    Mermaid tail made out of beach trash
    WALL PAPER MERMAID TAIL!
    Mermaid tail made out of stolen office supplies! lol

    (most of these ideas are in no way realistic)

    it would be cool to make it out of jeans, then you can have pockets!!!!
    ...but it would be really heavy to swim in.

    Rare colors for mermaid tails:
    Silver: I've only seen one all silver tail. Even as an accent it's pretty rare.
    Brown and bronze: I'd love to see brown as the main color instead of an accent.
    Yellow: most go for gold instead of yellow, but yellow really pops in the water. Think of the yellow tang!
    Muted yellow-green: common on real life fish, not so much in mermaids.

    I just laughed out loud when I read "floating torso". That honestly would be awesome.

    I have a brown tail. I call it my selkie tail and it's made of stretch velvet. I'll have to find a picture of it.
