14 refers to the "14 words" as discussed above (We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children). 88 is a reference to Hitler, specifically to the phrase "Heil Hitler" as 'H' is the eighth letter of the alphabet.
White supremacists and Neo-Nazis frequently will get 14/88 tattoos or make other uses of the numbers in their symbology as a way of advertizing and recognizing each other without the use of more blatant symbols like swastikas or "SS" lightning bolts.
It's somewhat similar to 1%er motorcycle gangs making use of "1%" as a symbol to demonstrate to each other their being part of 'that life.'
