A trident represents Poseidon, the Greek god of the see. It generally stands for sea power or being the master of the sea.
Maybe it means you like fish and weapons. (kidding)
A trident tattoo with bifurcated tines represents a latino gang in my home town of Compton, south central LA.This tattoo or "badge is usually accompanied by the letters "C.S.C."
The trident is also a gang sign for the GD's in Chicago
Trident was Poseidon symbol: Poseydone or Neptune was the sea divinity, one of the most important and strong. Trident was used as a symble of courage and strength in ancient Rome. It was usually used by gladiators or soldiers.

The dagger tattoo symbolizes a sexual predator, or a murderer(assassin). And the trident symbolizes the sign of an enforcer, and someone who is pure in heart.
The trident is the symbol for Poseidon, greek god of the sea, brother of Zeus and Hades. He uses his trident to control the oceans, keeping them calm or creating raging seas. Sailors used to sacrifice horses into the sea for Poseidon, hoping for a safe voyage. Also if it is tattooed below the waist, it stands for crossing the equator aboard ship.
A Poseidon Trident also has the meaning of feeling conexted to the sea. loving water more then the other elements.
