Shibari/RopeWork Appreciation

Very pretty
Yah, but it looks like all her weight's squeezing her arms behind her back if she puts full weight on the rope. If she's got shoulder problems, that might go bad quick with a dislocation under load. Much better to put weight on a band around a limb or torso than setting it up to squeeze limbs like that.

IMO - YMMV, just something I'd not tie, but I'm the perhaps overly-cautious type like that.

I agree about being cautious with weight hanging from upper arm tie. I saw another image on this thread recently that looked like a very high risk for ulnar nerve compression which worried me more than this image.

My interpretation of this rigging image was that the rope was secured above her, but not on tension and certainly not supporting her full weight, as that would not be an advisable position for safety. While we can't see her lower legs/feet, I am hoping she is on a supportive surface, not suspended.

As always, YMMV, and caution is by far the best practice. Nerves are delicate things, and can be damaged more easily and in less time than we sometimes recognize.

I agree, she seems to have at least some weight on the ground, but between sexplay, reduced balance from losing her arms, and other such distractions & fun, my rule of thumb is to rig as if full body weight and writhing/spasming are expected. Again, I’m a paranoid old cuss, but I dislike breaking my toys - if you do break ‘em, you don’t get to play again!

Excellent rule of thumb. Every rope bunny should expect their rigger to take such cautious care of them.

It’s not a suspension, I’m sure she’s perfectly comfortable
 
Agreed, it’s not a suspension - but an unexpected sensation - from flogger, cane, vibe, fingers, TENS, whatever - might cost her her balance unexpectedly. Dehydration during a long and/or intense scene might cause her to lose her feet, too. Etc.

It’s not a given, but it is possible. Preparing to mitigate worst cases is IMO to be expected of riggers, dom/mes, and the like.

Perfect for the kinky Christmas party. That knot is perfectly located for maximum constant tease.

I think she'll be begging to go home early.

Does he smile and escort her home? Or does he give her a wicked smirk and stay out 2 more hours as he watches her squirming get ever more intense.

He does love it when her panties soak through...

If you look, you’ll see several of those intersections are not knots, or even twists - they’re loops. Loops can shift and slide - can’t say how much but I strongly suspect she’d feel it as she walked or danced, tugging that crotch knot around juuuuust a little as her hips rock and her waist twists…

Absolutely. Such loops make a chest tie both more tolerable for hours of wear, and more arousing as the ropes shift around her body.
