From what I understand, those are Matthew Fox's actual tattoos. After a bit of research, it seems that they are four Chinese characters "鹰击长空" ("Hawks flying in the sky" from a poem of Chairman Mao Tse-Tung (onetime Communist ruler of China).

And apparently it's significance to Mr. Fox is something that he never discusses in interviews.
If the writers plan to work it int the script remains to be seen, however they did blot it out in one of Jack's flashback scenes.
