So I finally decided to go on a little adventure and take some pictures with my mermaid tail. This actually required me getting up at five in the morning to drive to this location but totally worth it I had so much fun and then I had to go to work a couple hours later I wish I could live the life of Mermaid all day

Is it just me or does quality look away off?

[Mermaid Wesley]

yeah Did you post from your phone? It kills quality.

[East coast mermaid]

Ahhh I did post from my phone

Here's my first tail! Its a little too big since i did the measurements myself. I also now have a green tail skin, and im currently talking to Siren's Calling about having a Flounder-style tail made! Caint Wait!

[Starfrit]

So I got my tail from Morticia/Siren's Calling on Friday! <3 IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL OMFGGG. This week has been hell so I only got to try it on once, and wasn't able to get proper pictures of me wearing it... But pics are coming soon, I promise! In the meantime~





LOOK AT THE PRETTY COLOOORRRRSSSSS



Fluke spikes! <3



Dorsal fin!



These hip fins are so adorable, I'm kind of obsessed with them, haha. <3



SWIM UP TO THE CLUB LIKE "WHAT UP I GOT A BIG FLUKE"​

This is literally the only picture I've got so far of me wearing it because it took 20 minutes for my boyfriend to help squeeze my fat butt into it and then he sat back, said "Ha ha you can't walk now" and left the room to watch dumb cat videos on YouTube. I HAVE SUCH A TOP-NOTCH MERHANDLER.

[Mermaid Wesley]

how beautiful!!

[MermaidRuby]

the tail is beutiful! how much did it cost you?

[Starfrit]

If I'm remembering correctly (I paid for mine back in the beginning of last May, so my memory's totally screwy), it was like... $640 USD for the tail, then shipping was roughly $80, and then $91 CAD in Customs fees. Mine was discounted though, I think, because my tail was the first to get the new dorsal+fins upgrade on the tail so there was a lot of experimentation involved. Totally worth it, in my opinion. <3 My first swim in it is on Sunday night, I'm SO STOKED.

[MermaidRuby]

Awesome! Can you post a video? I'd love to see you in action! I was also wondering, where did you get your inspiration from?

[PearlieMae]

I can't wait to see it!!! Congrats!

[Starfrit]

I'll see if I can get some video when I take it swimming! Unfortunately, the pool that's letting me bring my tail normally has a pretty strict no-cameras policy so I can't guarantee I'll be able to get video or pictures of my first swim. The reason I'm allowed to take my tail is because my friend is the head lifeguard that night, and she's the one who's been teaching me to dolphin-kick so she's cool with it, and she might be able to bend the rules to let me get some video in my tail (though I'm not gonna push it since me and my friends won't be the only people at the pool that night and I don't wanna make anybody feel uncomfortable).

If I do get video it'll all be above-water anyway since I don't have access to any kind of underwater camera. ^^;

Awesome tail! The construction of it looks top notch and the paintjob looks awesome too. You must be so excited.

[Mermaid Neri Elvina]

Ooh pretty! What's it made of?

@MerEmma: The construction is FANTASTIC, and save for a tiny tear near the top of the waistband it is TOUGH. I was terrified Dave and I were gonna shred it apart when we were trying to get it on!!

Also, that ENTIRE tail is hand-painted. With a brush. Because Morticia is amazing and has the patience of a saint!

@Elvina: It's made from painted neoprene! Since it's my first tail I wanted something that was more durable than spandex but not as heavy or expensive as silicone, and neoprene fit the bill perfectly. <3

This is precisely why I went with Morticia for my first tail too. I've had it about 2 years now and it's held up wonderfully. Morticia's construction and paint skills are top-notch. :3
