Certain symbols trigger people.
Freemasonry incorporates many symbols.
Thus freemasonry triggers people.
HOWEVER, freemasonry does not own any of those symbols, and most of them did not originate from freemasonry. Freemasonry attempts to perpetuate and not forget the meaning of those symbols, which come from the world's oldest religions. The symbols are "fonts" from the wellspring of God, it is explained that "God's Word" (symbols/thoughts/speech) appear in our mind out of nowhere in the form of these symbols.
Russell also has tattoos of chakras and Jesus.
Altogether it says he wanted to have spiritual tattoos and convey to onlookers that he is all about spirituality. 33 is certainly big in freemasonry, related to the highest degree and enlightenment. Said to be the number of bones in the human backbone. 33 can also refer to 33 AD the death of Jesus, in which 33 was also roughly his age upon death too. So it seems strongly related to Jesus. And it is debatable whether Jesus' death was a physical one, or an ego death/transcendence a-la Gnosticism and Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey.
We all get to experience the Hero's Journey in this life and "become Jesus" (overcome and subdue our ego). That's the big secret I guess. Russell is saying he has done it, here are my tattoos to express that.
Overall Russell Brand has good content, and he conveys important messages peacefully. He is doing a good job IMO. To do what he does, putting himself out there for criticism, standing for what he believes in, takes a backbone.
