Ship's Wheel Tattoo Meaning

Command, direction, control, and taking the helm of a new course.

The Ship's Wheel is the act of taking command of one's course — the helm by which the ship is steered, the grip that turns and chooses the way ahead. To carry the Ship's Wheel is to carry command, direction, control, and taking the helm of a new course — the steering hand on the wheel, the assertion of control over where one is bound.
