The OHM symbolizes the  triangular principles of dawn, afternoon, dusk, creation, sustaining, destruction, conscious, unconscious, subconscious

The ohm is most often used in Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism.

The mantra "OHM" is the name of God the vibration of the Source. 

Breaking it down letter by letter, A-U-M represents the divine energy (Shakti)
Its three elementary aspects are Bhrahma Shakti (creation)
Vishnu Shakti (preservation) 
Shiva Shakti (liberation, and/or destruction)

Sanskrit letters or symbol for the "sacred" Hindu sound ohm or aum are called "the mother of all mantras. 
The four parts symbolize the four stages of consciousness:

Trance or transcendental state. 

The om tattoo symbolism conveys a reverence for life, an honor for creation and an understanding of the divine motion of the Universe.
