Ouroboros refers to the ancient mystical and alchemical symbol representing a serpent or dragon devouring its own tail, so as to signify infinity and unity. All of the seven main homunculi are presumed to have the mark located somewhere upon their person as if tattooed there. This particular Ouroboros displays a winged serpent with its tail in its mouth, creating a circle with its body. Encircled within is a hexagram, which is a symbol often associated with alchemy. One could perceive the Ouroboros as a sort of basis for the Transmutation Circles used in the series. Thanks to FMA Wikia for description.
