It depends on the skinhead. Real skinheads, which came from a mix of the English mod scene and the Jamaican rudeboy style that immigrants brought with them to the UK, isn't racist. The "nazi skinheads" you see on tv are posers who don't know anything about the real skins.
So, real skinheads tend to have tattoos that involve certain symbols common to the scene - a laurel wreath that comes from the Fred Perry logo, a crucified skinhead symbolizing the damage done by the media pushing the idea of skins as racist thugs, national flags, anti-racist logos and drawings, Doc Marten-style boots, skinhead girls, brass knuckles, the logo for the Trojan record label, that kind of thing.
But also, skins will get whatever appeals to them as individuals. Band logos, their childrens' names, sacred hearts, hotrods, pin-ups - just like anyone.

What are the meanings of skinhead tattoos?
It would all heavily depend on what the design is. As a former skinhead myself, I make it my personal mission to raise awareness to the vast majority of the world that do not know that there are two types of skinheads; racist skinheads (the idiots that most people know of and despise), and NON-RACIST skinheads (the ORIGINAL skinheads). Skinheads came directly from the Rude Boy culture in Jamaica in the late 50's and early 60's, and a good majority of skinheads were, and still are, black and ethnic. When Jamaicans started to immigrate to the UK in the late 60's and early 70's, the Rude Boy culture mixed with the growing rock and punk scene, and this is essentially where Skinheads came from. The image of the Non-Racist Skinheads was pretty much irreparably busted when the National Front in England started to enlist the more rowdy of the skinheads and the ones that were latently racist to begin with and basically turned them into a thug army. Nowadays, most people are completely unaware that there is even such a thing as a Non-Racist Skinhead, which MOST of the skinheads that you will ever see, are. The racist faction is a small and pathetic one.

What is a skinbyrd?
Originally meant to be the girlfriend, friend, or supporter of skinheads. It was stated that girls aren't supposed to be skinheads, but rather to help out the guys that are, but still wanted rank within the skinheads. So, they became skinbyrds. Some skinbyrds took on the look of skinheads, with the boots and shaved heads or Chelsea hair, but most remained anonymous and chose to look 'normal'. Some claim that there is no such thing as a female skinhead, and all that exists are skinbyrds. I suppose this though counts on what subgroup of skinheads you are. Traditional skinheads believe in skinbyrds, and racist ones do too. Sharp and Rash skinheads think of women as skinheads, however. See that girl over there, hanging out with all those skinheads, she's a skinbyrd.
