Wings as a tattoo design can often have inspirational or spiritual symbolism. In many myths, wings often have to be earned by their wearer.
Wings are often associated with birds and thus represent speed, elevation, freedom and aspiration.
Wings associated with angels are spiritual, symbolizing enlightenment, guidance and protection (as in "to be taken under the wing")
Wings associated with butterflies, dragonflies, fairies, mythological winged creatures, (dragons, griffins, and Pegasus), have an element of magic to them. As in alchemy and magic, wings can be transformational, allowing an individual access to a previously unattainable state.

Whats the meaning of the tattoo of a heart and a triangle in the middle?
As far as I'm aware, the "heartagram" as it's known, doesn't hold any symbolic meaning within tattoo history.However it is the recognized symbol of a finnish band known as HIM, and the band have been noted to have said, that the heartagram "stands for the band as a whole, in it's entirity". It is in design, meant to be somewhere between a heart, and a pentagram, and the bands frontman Ville Valo has been quoted as saying that the heartagram is "a modern day Ying Yang" the heart being the Ying, and the pentagram being the Yang.
