Her tail was anatomically correct too but with only one hole

A male dolphin has two holes, one for... well storing his maleness and the other for excretion.
But are you going to do anything with them or is it just for accuracy? I think that's the question.
I'm glad you asked. If you're going to spend a lot of money, I think, you should go all out and make the design be the best it can be. Besides going to conventions or swimming recreationally, I've thought about doing it professionally, thus the Barnum and Bailey like name "The Dolphin Man". I don't know how much calling there would be for mermen. it would be interesting to perform in a sideshow. I've been intending to practice my clicks and whistles. So, the simple answer is... it's just for accuracy. It's to fool people into thinking that's a real tail.
Oh well that's really cool!
I don't want this to come off in any way insulting, but are you concerned people MIGHT think it's a sexual thing? I'm not really getting the benefit of adding the slits it kinda seems like adding nipples to a mermaid top, or but crack on the tail or something. I just find people think this whole merfolk thing is pretty weird, and seeing something like that on someone I think many people would automatically assume it's a sexual thing. I mean honestly, if you didn't specify it, I think many of us thought that. Realism is fun and all, but we're still people in costumes and merfolk aren't real. I can't say I've ever noticed the slits on a dolphin. So I'm not sure people would make that connection. Nothing intended to offend you at all, it's your choice and your tail, but I have to admit it would make me uncomfortable if I randomly saw it out at a pool. I think men also have a much harder time being accepted as mers, and are often lumped in with predators etc when they're around kids and we know mertails draw kids.
Whatever makes you happy I guess. I'm just not really seeing the benefit. The Vagina tail made a huge amount of people uncomfortable at merfest 2 (for which I witnessed personally) and there were several complaints about it.
Yeah i second thinking about using the tail professionally or around children. This is more of a tail for a personal collection imo. But like raina said, it isn't my tail and if if's the tail of your dreams then have at it

This has been the tail I've wanted, but it's nice to get a heads up on possible reactions. Thanks.
You could always wear a decorated fish net wrap if youre going to be around kiddos?

I've heard a lot of bad reviews on merrowfins so it's making me not want to buy a partial silicone tail from him <_< Unfortunately i'm on a budget to buy a tail, that's why I wanted to get a partial instead of a full silicone tail now but his work has so many negative review especially on customer service o.o
There have also been a lot of happy costumers but they have not posted reviews which is unfortunate. All tailmakers have good and bad qualities. Maybe you should talk to him or people who have ordered individually
Yes I haven't seen many positive reviews from him but thank you I will do this. I've emailed him before but only once and never got a response back but I'll start talking to more people who've gotten it from him instead c:
Check the review thread, some more were just posted

So true a lot haven't posted reviews

Omg I'm so glad someone else said it, I only just joined Mernetwork but I've been following this Mertailor thing for years and Eric seems to be a classic narcissist playing the victim with this. Also, the rape comment was incredibly disgusting, idk how he thinks that having business competition is in any way comparable to rape. I've lost any remaining hope for him to change.

that comment is over a year old. lol so let's not worry about old drama.
For those saying there's not many reviews I think they're sitting in the queue waiting for an admin to approve them? The forum had to institute an approval process because certain tail makers used to just make loads of alt accounts and post fake positive reviews for themselves lol
Is the approval system the reason why some reviews can't be read yet but the username still appears on the side of latest post?

yes. I suspect the admins are all just busy with the holidays
Does anyone else feel like Merrowfins copies aLOT of their tail designs? I feel like every other time I see a tail from them it leaves me thinking "well that looks just like ___"
