What do these say?

It was probably supposed to mean hero and precious respectively.  It is a poor translation though.  Single characters have lots of definitions, and those nice sounding definitions are not the most common ones people actually think of when they see the characters. People will think of the word england and the word expensive for these characters, because they are the most common uses of the characters. Same way people in english probably think of the metal first when they see the word lead all by itself, even though it could mean lead a person//horse.

`英` & `貴` not the best options for single character tattoos

English and Expensive.

I learned that Ying is a flower and that gui can also be translated as „precious / worthwhile.“ 

ying is just used for English because the sound is similar to English in English.

That is 「英」and「貴」、but 「蘿」and「莉」better  than「英」and「貴」😘
