To simplify the expression \((8^{-8})(8^{3})\), we apply the property of exponents that states \(a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}\).

In this case, we can combine the exponents of 8:

\[
(8^{-8})(8^{3}) = 8^{-8 + 3} = 8^{-5}
\]

Now, we have rewritten the expression in the desired form \(8^n\). Therefore, we can express \((8^{-8})(8^{3})\) as:

\[
\boxed{8^{-5}}
\]
