That was me who pointed it out.  I like your pointing out the possible
relationship to Laura's remark about bursting into flames and no angels to
help you.

Margaret's tatoo probably is a reference to the lodges (as well as a ref to
TP itself). As you point out, they are mirror images of each other.

There are few things of which I am confident, but one of them is that Major
Briggs is definitely good and works for the White Lodge (so I'm probably,
wrong, right?). B y the way, it would appear that his relationship is
similar to Lelands in that his memories of his deeds are blocked.  (This
raises the question of whether there is something like BOB that takes over
the Major at times, but is 'good'. So far we haven't been given any
evidence of this, but remember it was only one episode before the solution
that we actually see BOB's face over Leland's.)

I find it hard not to believe that Margaret isn't at least neutral, if not
good. Her message that there are owls at the roadhouse was correct as far
as it went, but a message like 'Maddy is in danger' would have been a whole
lot more helpful--at least to Maddy.  I can't see Margaret as bad, but I
can see her as essentially neutral, pehaps that's why her tatoo has both
lodges.
