>I know there are mers on here and I'm trying to actually take the plunge and get a tail this year.
(sei)profesional triton here. You might consider to go for the traditional triton look instead (separate legs ending in webbed feet) and get leggins and mermaiding bifins (yes, they exist - pic related) instead.
Because, let's get real, finding a mermen tail in a design that doesn't look like shit is a losing battle.
