Behind a Mertailor Mermaid Photo Shoot - Silicone Mermaid Tails


Mertailor Mermaid Tail Review/Testimonial - Iara Mandyn


Iara Mandyn
I have two of Eric's tails now and absolutely love both of them! Throughout all of our interactions Eric has been very professional and easy to work with. He called me up within minutes after my first email, and has been great at helping me and answering all of my questions. He even checked up afterwards to make sure I received my tail and that everything was how I wanted it.
The first tail I got from Eric was a beautiful latex tail which fit perfectly. The tail still looks almost as nice as the day I received it, which is pretty remarkable considering all I've put it through.
My newest Mertailor creation is a stunning blue/copper Koi silicone tail. I love the unique color combination and artistry Eric put into this tail design! I'm constantly getting compliments on the colors, which shimmer in the light and look really spectacular underwater. While I still love my latex tail, the silicone makes a huge difference. Swimming in it is like a dream; the tail is very realistic and almost feels like an extension of my body.
I have a fine arts degree well as being a professional underwater model and mermaid, so I really appreciate the attention and care that go into Eric's products. Thanks again!

Mertailor Review - Alexandria LaNier

My name is Alexandria LaNier, I am a professional award winning costume designer.  On occasion I work with fellow specialty costume artists.  I recently purchased a mermaid tail from The Mertailor and I’m quite happy to share my experience.

First off I want to make a special note that whenever I work with fellow artists I always show them complete respect for their art and craft.  There are so few artists that have the natural gifted talent to create these masterpieces and I do sincerely appreciate the opportunity to be able to work with them. I should also tell you that I have extremely high standards when purchasing costumes.  I will not make or purchase cheap product.  

Now onto the tail...  I paid $2,000 for my Silicone Mermaid Tail and have to say at first sight my immediate response was that I practically stole it from TheMertailor.  In my professional opinion the quality of my tail is superb in every way and should be sold for $7,000 to 10,000.  Why?  First off, the overall design is exactly what you would expect a mermaid tail to look like.  The blending of colors infused into the tail create such a magnificent realistic appearance one would almost believe it is the real thing. 

The durability isevident by simply handling the product.  This tail will without a doubt hold up to the most rigorous of situations which is exactly what I would expect.  I purchased my tail to fit several different body styles and I have no doubt that it will fit every one of them like a glove.  

What I have experienced from other mermaid tail artists in the past was never this good.  Not even close.  I would happily refer anyone to the TheMerTailor and be completely confident that they will be overjoyed with their finished product.  

Blessings!
