About: Body markings in the World of Avatar   Sponge Permalink

An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/aeQ8mC2hZwCfU2V7U26gyg==, within Data Space : dbkwik.webdatacommons.org associated with source dataset(s)

Upon reaching master status, airbenders are tattooed with five light blue arrows: one extending from the base of the spine to the forehead, one for each arm pointing to the hands, and likewise for the legs and feet. This pattern is an emulation of the flying bison's natural markings, as they were the first airbenders. Unlike most master airbenders who gain their status later in life, Avatar Aang received his tattoos when he was only twelve, following his invention of the air scooter. This made him the youngest known airbending master until his granddaughter Jinora received her tattoos at the age of eleven in 171 AG.

  • Upon reaching master status, airbenders are tattooed with five light blue arrows: one extending from the base of the spine to the forehead, one for each arm pointing to the hands, and likewise for the legs and feet. This pattern is an emulation of the flying bison's natural markings, as they were the first airbenders.

This made him the youngest known airbending master until his granddaughter Jinora received her tattoos at the age of eleven in 171 AG. The earliest known ancestors of airbenders lived on top of the air lion turtle and had similar tattoos along their bodies, though the ends were similar to an upside down "T" with a dot beneath it, and they received them even as children. As they only received the power to control air while out of the city, the tattoo was not yet associated with airbending mastery. As they run along chi paths, the Air Nomad tattoos of an Avatar will glow when they enter the Avatar State. If the Avatar's body has received a severe injury on a tattooed area, leaving a scar deeper than the tattoo, then that particular spot will not glow.
