How the human with a tail look? Check out this PS work by lessthanhuman.
"A tail is a characteristic that I feel clearly represents the majority of the animal kingdom. With few exceptions, nearly all other creatures have a tail in one form or another. Developmentally, all human embryos have tails which, for the vast majority of the population, are gone by birth.
I consider the back and spine to be one of the most aesthetically beautiful parts of the human body. In this piece, I tried to preserve that beauty despite the obvious addition of a tail. This piece was an experiment. When I took the stock photo, I immediately knew what I wanted to do with it. It took me several months, however, to muster up enough patience and time to sit down and try to build a tail. I had initially set out to build a thick, reptilian-style tail but as I drew the initial shape, I felt a smaller, thinner mammalian style tail would blend in more naturally with the model's physique. The most difficult part was matching the lighting but I feel like it ended up looking pretty natural…for a tail anyway.
I also pointed the model's ear and made other minor modifications. Expect minor revisions.

Only anorexic models have tales? Besides that, surely the tail would actually be a bit lower, just above the anus? This looks too high and seems modelled around the fact we walk 'upright' when surely, our tales were more an artifict when we walked more crouched, arms down?

crappy tail at the wrong spot, it comes out just before the ass, not out of the back like this one...

LOL, what a little tail!  He should have made it longer, it looks like a birth defect, the kind that some people have, an extra vertebra or two coming out the top of their butt.  If I had such a defect, I might keep it, in case I ever break my back and need a spare.  :P  I wouldn't mind a long, prehensile tail (like in that movie Splice) to hold things with whenever my hands are full.  Curse you, evolution!

Anorexia usually doesn't allow love handles
