Why did the Nazis made homosexuals wear a pink triangle?
There was a whole system of badges that were required to be worn by the prisoners in Nazi Germany prison camps. The badges were mostly inverted triangles (flat side up, pointy side down) of different colours. Jewish prisoners had to wear a non inverted yellow triangle with another inverted triangle superimposed, over the top to form a star. Red triangles signified political enemies; green professional criminals; blue forced labour or emigrants, purple bible students; black for asocials and brown for gypsies. The colour for sex offenders was pink. Most of these happened to be homosexual men. So a homosexual Jew would wear a star comprising a pink triangle over a yellow triangle.

What does fairuza balks triangle tattoo mean?
This is just my opinion, and I could be wrong, but Fairuza is partly Romani and an inverted blue triangle such as she has was a color coded badge that was given to "forced foreign labor" during the holocaust and it was worn on the clothing of them just as the yellow Star of David was worn by the Jews. It could be that this is a respectful acknowledgement of her ancestors and to those who may have been held in concentration camps during the war. Again, this is simply my opinion.
