Why get a Silicone Tail
If you are looking at starting a mermaid preforming/entertainment business or wanting to advance in the hobby of mermaiding, then a silicone tail is the way to go!
Silicone mermaid tails not only look realistic, but also you can feel the scales, the lines in the fluke and see the details pop out. These features make silicone tails have a life like appearance which makes them a popular choice.
Silicone tails are customizable and are crafted based on your measurements to fit you perfectly.
Ordering Process
-
Designing
-
The Construction
-
Finalization/Shipping
-
The first step is picking a color scheme, pattern, add ons, and fluke/monofin choices. Once you have made your finial decision, I’ll send you over the first invoice which will be half the amount of your tail plus add ons.
Once payment is received, I’ll begin drawing out your design. From there if we need to make any changes we can to the design to create your dream tail!
-
For the next step, once the design is finialized the construction begins! During this stage I will be sending you updates on the construction of your tail. This can take from 6- 10 months to complete your tail . This is due to ordering and shipping in supplies.
During this time, you can continue to pay the remainder of the balance in smaller payments until the tail is complete. I will not ship out the finished tail until the balance is fully paid.
-
This is the finial step, Once the tail is complete, I’ll send you finial photos and a video to see the upclose details of your tail.
If everything looks good I’ll get your tail packaged and ready to ship out to you! Based on your location and what shipping carriers are available I’ll send you the shipping options based on the tails weight and box. Once the shipping invoice is paid, I’ll obtain the shipping label and send you over the tracking info.

*As an added bonus, you get to choose a free top or weight belt that will be included with your tail!
Blended Waist Add on +$100
This addition adds a nude transition from your tails colors to match your skin tone. This is a favorable option if you want a seamless look.
Dorsal Fin Add On +$300
This includes one long dorsal fin along the tails back or a split dorsal fin.
Pair of Fins Add On +$150 a pair
This can include heel fins, pectoral fins, side fins, etc. For these, I have some options available or I can add some others to fit your design.
Holographic Glitter Coat
I use eco friendly holographic glitter to give your tail that extra sparkle! Plus having another coat can add to protecting your tails outer surface.
Custom Sculp Fluke Option (+$450)
Out of all my designs if you would like to get a specific shape or have a realistic fish fin in mind I would love to explore the opportunity of adding another fluke option. With custom shapes, I do add them to my line up that is why the cost for a custom sculpt is at a lower price. If you want it to be exclusive to you I can make it the full cost of materials and time (~$800).
Common Questions
How do I place a Tail Order?
When you have an idea of your dream tail, this could be colors, patterns, or even the add ons you want. You can send an email titled
READY TO ORDER SILICONE TAIL
To tigersharkmermaid@gmail.com
From there we can start the process of designing a one-of-a-kind-tail for you!
Do you offer a payment plan?
Since silicone tails are a big investment and I personally have gone through saving up for one myself. I understand that sometimes a payment plan is a better option for individuals.
So yes, I do have a payment plan option set up for my silicone tails.
How it works is half of the tails cost is due upfront, that way I can get the base materials to start constructing your tail. After that you can pay over time till the tail is completed, or once the tail is completed pay the remaining half.
*I will not ship out the tail till the full balance and shipping invoice are paid. Once they are I will ship your tail out to you and provide you with a tracking number.
What is the duration of production?
Constructing a silicone tail is an art, and I hold myself to a high standard of making sure your tail is perfectly constructed to the best of my ability. Sometimes they can take longer than predicted due to shipping in materials, curing time, molds breaking, silicone not curing properly, etc.
Currently since I only take 2 orders at a time my timeframe is between 6-10 months for full construction. This also may take longer due to payment plan options. Also if any changes need to be made, this can affect the timeframe of the tail.
Can you swim in them?
Yes! They are 100% swimmable mermaid tail embedded with a professional freediving monofin. You can take your tail to the swimming pool, ocean, springs, lakes, rivers, etc. Just make sure after you use your tail to properly clean, dry, and maintain your tail.
Dragonskin silicone can last for years if taken care of properly.
How much do they weigh?
These tails are constructed from medical grade silicone called dragonskin silicone. This silicone has been used in medical tools, props, prosthetics, mermaid tails, cosplay, and more!
It’s important when you are searching for a tail maker to make sure they are using the right products that will be non-toxic and safe for your skin.
My tails I create depending on how many fins you want and the fluke option, can range between 20-50lbs. But once in the water silicone itself becomes lighter and flowy.
Do you offer rush Orders?
Yes I do, if you need a tail ASAP I can get a tail out for you within a specific timeframe if needed. There will be an extra fee for me to expedite the materials being shipped in. +$1,000
This timeframe can be as of 2 months minimum .
