Welcome!
I’m SelkieSkins, a rope artist and educator specializing in the intricate, beautiful, and deeply expressive art of shibari. My journey began with a passion for connection, creativity, and self-expression, and has grown into a practice where every knot and line tells a story.
Based in Los Angeles, CA, you’ll find me performing in local dungeons, at decadent underground parties, and at sultry, high-energy events — tying myself and those who offer tribute for the experience.

Leviathan: Luminescence
21+ Event
LEVIATHAN: LUMINESCENCE is an underwater world shaped by shadow, light, and the quiet intensity of bioluminescent organisms- creatures that create their own light in the deepest, darkest waters. Expect to be illuminated in oceanic wonder and darkness. Dress as your favorite glowing or UV reactive underwater creature.
This event will also highlight an expansion in the LEVIATHAN universe, and will serve as a fundraising effort for the next stage in the evolution of it! Your proceeds will directly help fund a HUGE step in our growth. Thank you!

Why Selkie?
The name Selkie comes from folklore…mythical seal-folk who shed their skins to become human, embodying transformation, freedom, and the delicate balance between connection and independence.
In my rope work, I channel that same magic: the ability to transform, to connect deeply, and to move fluidly between freedom and surrender. Let’s see what layers we can shed together.
