new mermaid near sacramento CA!

[KelpieDreams]

hey guys! my name's camille and i'm a costume artist living near sacramento CA. i'm looking to expand my costume performance repertoire, as well as living out all my six year old dreams haha! <3

i'm super interested in the community and would love to join some local groups and learn more about where i can hang out with other merms.

i also have tattoos and am hoping it won't be too much of a hindrance as i get on my... fins? as i don't see many other merms who have them. i love my ink and don't want to cover it up, but i also don't want anything to look out of place. do any of you guys have ink and perform? what kind of reactions did you get?

nice to meet you all! <3

Welcome to the Mernetwork. Mermaid Kelly has tattoos and it never stopped her from getting a gig.

You should come to the California Mermaid Con in July! It's located in Sacramento!

Also I have two half sleeves and in 11 years have only had to cover my tats once.

Welcome! I have always admired costume designers- I'm not very good at sewing myself but have been thinking about trying to pick it up again. Looking forward to seeing your mermaid designs

I live around Sacramento! Have you heard of the California Mermaid Convention, its in Sacramento in July!
I wouldn't worry about having to cover up your tattoos, there are mermaids out there who have tattoos who don't cover them up.

ania, i would love to! hopefully i'll be able to buy a ticket on saturday because i feel i'll have a lot to learn from the panels, but i'd at the very least like to attend one of the free days.
