Jinora's tattoos are a significant symbol of her mastery over airbending. These arrow tattoos, which run down an Air Nomad's chi paths, are an emulation of the natural arrows on the heads of flying bisons, the original airbenders revered by the Air Nomads. Jinora received her tattoos at the age of eleven, marking her as a master airbender. This is a tradition among the Air Nomads, where an airbender must pass thirty-six levels of airbending, or create a new airbending technique, to earn their tattoos.
