Wooden Oar Tattoo Meaning
Effort, labor, journey, and the work of reaching a new shore.
The Wooden Oar is the effort and labor that carries one to a new shore — the plain oar pulled stroke by stroke, the work of one's own hands moving the boat forward. To carry the Wooden Oar is to carry effort, labor, journey, and the work of reaching a new shore — the honest, repeated work of pulling oneself onward, the labor that carries the journey across the water.
