This is my first tattoo. Three closing pins over a blue sky. In skydiving, the closing pin is what keeps your parachute container closed until you are ready to deploy your parachute. There are three of them because in skydiving, there tends to be a rule of three’s

• three handles: the one that deploys your main parachute, cutaway your main parachute, and deploy your reserve.
• three straps that keep you in your harness: two leg straps and one chest strap.
• three rings on the cutaway system. 
• everything tends to happen in threes on the dropzone
• three closing pins on a necklace = circle of love.

I put the design on my right wrist, because you use your right hand to deploy your main parachute.
