First ever piebald mermaid!

[Mermaid Enora]

yea for more mers with vitiligo!

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Welcome! That is a beautiful tail, and it matches your beautiful skin perfectly. ♡

Vitiligo makes me think of Dalmatians. Most dogs have solid colors except them, yet dalmatians are very expensive, very unique, and very pretty!

[Nashoba]

First of all, this entire thread is so awesome and beautiful. Really warms my heart.


Second, Coyote, I like your idea of mimicking your birthmark on your tail! I think it's great when we can use our Mersonas to embrace all of the things that make us gorgeous, unique and different.

This is so cool! Your tail is super pretty!
I've been thinking of doing something like this myself, I have a birthmark near my eye that's not very common to have there.

[Mermaid Enora]

Yulia, I think that'd look great on your tail maybe as a wavy section down one side?
Coyote walker, love the idea of the birthmark on your tail as well
For a while I've been thinking of how the mer community would respond to all this, but I never expected to be such an inspiration to others! I can't wait to see when and how all this pans out!!

[Nashoba]

Yulia,

Oh, it looks like clouds! And it would be great to play that up with some beautiful makeup and glitter!

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Nice! Your blue tail suits you very well.

[Mermaid Enora]

Thanks Jaffa!
I forgot to mention one fun fact about the vitiligo. My spots glow bright white under black light the same way a white shirt would glow in contrast to say a pair of jeans

First, your tail is amazing. Second, you might be a genius for combining something so unique about yourself into your mermaid life. And third, you are a tail-flippin' BEAUTIFUL mermaid! It kills me...

[Mermaid Wesley]

Aw thanks y'all!!!
Here's another pic that I hadn't posted before.
It's one of my favs and shows the vitiligo on my arm better.
The underarm part of my upper arm is completely white so if I'm laying down with my arms above me all that shows is the white part.

You gorgeous fish, you.

[Merfin_Aurora_Oceania]

Way to go girl, its nice to see how ou embrace yourself and add that to your tail, very nice and thank you for sharing.

[Coradion]

Lovely! One of my good friends has vitiligo as well.

[Rett]

What a heartwarming thread! I think its fantastic how you have incorporated a part of you into your tail. So unique and pretty!

[Vrindavana Starfish]

Wait, you glow under backlight too? That's like, a superpower.

Yep! The vitiligo glows bright white in contrast to my regular skin tone. I wish I had a pic of it.
I do have a black light flash light I'll try to get some pics tonight maybe.
