Mermaid Tails

Silicone mermaid tails are the most lifelike and sought-after creations in the mermaid community. Each one is sculpted to fit its wearer, crafted with pearl pigments that shimmer and glisten like real fish scales. These tails aren’t just costumes — they’re works of art, made to move beautifully in the water and reflect the individuality of every mermaid who wears them.

Because of their popularity and the investment they represent, it’s incredibly important to do your research when choosing your creator. Always ask what materials are used to craft your tail, especially if you plan to swim in aquariums, springs, or the ocean. Some silicones are not aquarium-safe and can be harmful to marine life.

Even if you choose to go with another maker, I want you to take this one thing with you: know what your tail is made of. Your safety — and the ocean’s — depends on it. 🌊

I’m proud to say that every tail and silicone artwork I create is made using Dragon Skin™ silicone by Smooth-On, trusted for its strength, flexibility, and proven biocompatibility. It’s the same standard used by professional creators and performers worldwide — because quality and ocean safety always come first. 💙

Our signature product.

At Tiger Shark Mermaid, each silicone tail is handcrafted as a one-of-a-kind piece—built to reflect your individuality, performance needs, and ocean-inspired dreams. 🌊🧜‍♀️


I take great pride in designing fully custom tails that aren’t just beautiful, but functional and durable too. Every detail is made to order, which means I don’t replicate previous designs. This keeps each creation unique to you.

Because of the time, care, and materials involved, I take limited orders at a time. If you’re looking for something fast or mass-produced, this might not be the right fit. But if you’re someone who values craftsmanship, creativity, and collaboration—then you’re in the right place. I can’t wait to work with you and bring your mermaid vision to life.

Frequently asked questions
What is the return/repair Policy

Return & Repair Policy – Custom Silicone Tails


Please note that all silicone tails are fully custom-made, and therefore non-returnable and non-refundable.


It is the customer’s responsibility to provide accurate measurements. Once your measurements are submitted, any changes may or may not be possible depending on the stage of production. Please double-check your measurements before submitting them to avoid potential fit issues.


Upon receiving your tail, you will have 14 days (2 weeks) from the delivery date to notify me of any concerns or issues. After that period, any repairs, resizing, or alterations will incur an additional fee.


Thank you for your understanding and for supporting hand-crafted, made-to-order mermaid gear! 🧜‍♀️
How long does it take to make a custom silicone tail?

How long does it take to make a custom silicone mermaid tail?


Each custom tail takes approximately 6–8 months to construct. However, the timeline can vary depending on several factors—such as material availability, shipping delays, or extended silicone curing times needed to ensure durability and safety.


I do my best to keep clients updated along the way, but please understand that quality work takes time, and each tail is built to be both functional and magical! 🧜‍♀️✨
Can I swim in my tail right away?

Yes! 🧜‍♀️ Your tail is ready to swim in as soon as you receive it. Along with your order, I include a care sheet and a care package with:

    •    The exact pigment powders used for your tail (so you can easily touch up if needed)

    •    A small tube of Silpoxy for minor repairs

    •    Helpful tips to keep your tail looking and performing its best


That way, you’re not just receiving a tail—you’re receiving the tools to take care of it like a pro!
What type of monofin does the tail come with

What kind of monofin does the tail come with?


It depends on the fluke design you choose! Some fluke styles are built around the Finis Shooter, while others work best with the Finis Competitor monofin.

    •    If you’re going for a flowy, graceful look with lots of movement, a fluke designed for the Finis Shooter is a great choice.

    •    If you want a more powerful, sturdy tail that can handle ocean currents and provide serious propulsion, then a fluke that fits the Finis Competitor is the way to go.


I’ll always guide you through which monofin pairs best with the design you’re interested in to make sure your tail performs the way you want it to!
Can I choose my own Colors and Patterns?

Can I choose my own colors and pattern?


Absolutely! 🎨 You can fully customize your tail’s color palette, pattern, and style. If you already have a vision in mind, I’ll bring it to life! But if you’re unsure, no worries—I’m happy to sketch out design options and help you explore different looks until we find the perfect match for you.


This process is collaborative, and I want you to feel confident and excited about your final tail!
Are Silicone Tails heavy or hard to swim in?

Are silicone mermaid tails heavy or hard to swim in?


Silicone tails are considered advanced mermaiding gear, designed for performers or experienced hobbyists. They can weigh anywhere from 25 to 60 lbs, depending on the fluke size, added features, and tail length.


While they’re incredibly durable and visually stunning, they do require strength, stamina, and solid swimming skills to use safely. It’s recommended that you’re comfortable in the water and ideally have experience with fabric tails or monofins before moving up to silicone.
How much does shipping cost?

When is shipping calculated?


Shipping costs are calculated at the end of the build process, once your tail is complete. This allows me to get the most accurate rate based on the final weight and box dimensions.


Once your shipping invoice is paid, your tail will be carefully packed and shipped, and I’ll provide you with a tracking number so you can follow its journey. 📦✨


Please make sure the shipping address you provide is accurate. I am not responsible for any lost or misdelivered packages, and I cannot replace or rebuild a custom tail if it is lost in transit.
Can I buy just the fins or fluke?

Do you sell individual pieces from your silicone tails (like fins or fluke sections)?


At this time, I do not offer individual pieces of my silicone tails for separate sale. Each tail is crafted as a complete, cohesive piece to ensure structural integrity and proper performance in the water. 💙


Thank you for understanding!
Do you offer payment plans?

Do you offer payment plans?


Yes! I offer a half-and-half payment plan:

    •    50% deposit is required to begin the build

    •    The remaining 50% balance, plus shipping, must be paid before your tail ships


Please note: Your tail will not ship until it is paid in full, including the final shipping invoice.


If you’re interested in a payment plan, feel free to reach out and we’ll go over the details together!
