Question
"I am looking at a few items for body art and wanted to question the
relation to the catholic faith.  First the lion and the lamb with the
three crosses in the background, second the scared heart with the thorns
and flames, third the whole trinity partial circles that also has a
pegan meaning."

Answer
The lion and the lamb usually appear with a small child as a symbol of peace and comes from the Old Testament book of Isaiah.  The crosses are extraneous and do not belong in the scene -- the one cross of Jesus comes from the New Testament.
The heart with thorns refers to the suffering of Jesus and the flame to His love.  The sacred heart is a frequent theme in Catholic art.  
I do not understand your third item.  The Trinity often is depicted as a triangle in sacred art.  I am not familiar with partial circles.
