While there are wet digs and dry gigs, which entail just photo ops for parties and events, being able to swim is paramount for flowing like a merperson. It is really important to have some physical fitness as well.
Glitz Comes At a Cost Developing that mersonality is key, but it comes at a price. The mermaid tail alone, which weighs about 40 pounds, can cost up to $3,200. Of course, there are less expensive options, but quality and durability are imperative to spend as much time using them as a mermaid would. On top of that, one professional mermaid, Rose Medina, told Insider that she spent $275 on a decorative top, $100 for a headdress, and makeup which can cost $150-200 every two months.
