Considering that the cypher is on the side of the Multidimensional Bridge that Stan is working on, I think that the tattoo is a representation of the multidimensional spectra, specifically one that Stanley is trapped in by, or escaped from, Bill Cipher! Maybe it is an algorithym that shows what and how it works, and, considering iron is a traditional defence against demonic forces, and BC is one, then it reasonable to assume that the bottom symbols represent Earth (iron) as a Point of Origin, and the tattoo is a road map of sorts as well. I think Alex Hirsch may be a Stargate (SG1, Atlantis, Universe) so it sorts of makes sense, seeing as the end result is a Portal that resembles an open Stargate! To answer my own question on the new thread I began, Stanley/Stanford is looking to rescue Stanford/ Stanley!
