Rigger

What it is

A Rigger enjoys tying people up with rope, for how it looks, how it feels, or both.

What it can look like

Ties around arms, chest or legs. Rope patterns that look like art. Restraining a partner so they can't move.

Often pairs with

Rope bunny.

Not the same as

Bondage in general. Riggers can use cuffs too, but rope is a skill of its own.

Doing it safely

Learn from a class or a good teacher before trying anything fancy. Never tie anything around the neck. Keep safety shears in reach, check for numbness and tingling, and never leave a tied person alone. Suspension needs proper training.

Talking about it

"I've been learning some rope. Would you let me practise on you?"
