Arrows

[avatargate]

How do you think the airbenders get an arrow
on their head?

[jaysnme]

The arrow on an Airbender's head signifies that he or she has mastered airbending. This is an emulation of the natural arrows on the heads of Flying Bison, animals revered by the Air Nomads, who can naturally Airbend and are believed to be the inspiration for the first Airbenders. In order to receive the tattoos as well as the title of a master, an Airbender must pass the thirty-six levels of airbending along with engendering a new technique. In actuality, Aang had only reached the thirty-fifth level before he left the Jongmu Temple, his invention of the Air Scooter earned him the tattoos prematurely, making him the youngest airbending master in history

there you go

great explanation!

[rivowaylord]

wow, best explaination i've ever seen

[airbender011]

wow what a good explanation!

[Princess Azula]

I think when you become a master air bender it just grows on your body!!!

[idkmy bff jill]

well i do think that its a good explanation BUT what about all the other airbenders, some were just toddlers. its not like a toddler can master airbending. i think the rest is good though, but i also think that the whole arrow thing is just something genetic.
