As frustrating as it is, the general consensus is that Sokka died of old age and natural causes between age 70 and The assumption here is that the Avatar is being disallowed from having the tattoos. Simple social psychology says that relatively few non-Air Nomads would even want them.
He just shaves his head as a part of an Air Nomad tradition, similar to real life monks and priests. The reason why Aang had a full head of hair at the start of Book 3 is because he was unconscious for several weeks after Azula electrocuted him in Ba Sing Sei.
Azula is the only firebender who can produce blue flames, which are hotter and contain more energy than those of other firebenders who bend normal orange flames. Her flames are blue due to her fire being fueled with pure hatred. She is the only one we seen in ATLA who can produce blue flames. Her father, Aang's son Tenzin, had previously resisted Jinora's pleas to get her own tattoos and become a fully-fledged airbending master, so the ceremony is an emotional moment for Tenzin and Jinora as he finally accepts that his oldest daughter is growing up.
The ceremony includes specific rituals associated with airbending. Next, surrounded by friends, family, and important societal figures, she steps forward from a line of Air Nomads.
Tenzin speaks about her accomplishments, the future of the Air Nomads, and how she will lead using her airbending mastery. She then removes her hood, revealing her new appearance. Lastly, the other Air Nomads move the smoke around pots of incense, sending it swirling through the room and ringing wind chimes around the temple. Jinora is the first to achieve airbending mastery in a generation, so her tattoo ceremony symbolizes hope for the future and a rebirth of the Air Nomad lifestyle.
Conversely, since Aang was the only airbender left at the time, his tattoos were symbolic of the destruction of the Air Nomads and their culture, as well as his vow to avenge them while carrying on their way of life. Air Nomad tattoos follow the direction that chi moves through the body. It begins at the base of the spine moving towards the forehead, from the shoulders out to the hands, and from the hips to the feet.
Chi is the internal energy that powers bending, so every bender must learn how to control and direct it. Combustionbenders ' third eye tattoo focusses their combustion beam.
Combustionbenders , firebenders with the rare ability to shoot an explosive beam of energy from their forehead, have a tattoo of an eye on the spot from where their attack is released.
Although this tattoo marks the bender's point of power, it also marks their weak spot; by striking this spot or continuously blocking it, the bender's flow of chi can be interrupted, preventing them from using their abilities. Although the main feature of this tattoo is a red eye positioned vertically, other features of the design can vary; while Combustion Man and P'Li both had three pinkish, horizontal lines surrounding their third eye, his were thick and straight, while hers were more refined and curvilinear.
Vachir 's face shows the tattoos of the Yuyan Archers. The elite marksmen of the Yuyan Archers bear dark red tattoos that run as a strip across their eyes, the ends of which flare out over the forehead and cheeks while the center narrows over the bridge of the nose. The tattoos identify each archer as a current or former member of the elite group.
In the Yu Dao chapter of the Official Avatar Aang Fan Club , the girls took mastering a kind of faux airbending very seriously and even began tattooing themselves in a way similar to master airbenders.
However, Avatar Aang saw the tattoos as disgracing his culture, so as he began to teach the club members about his culture and renamed the fan club the " Air Acolytes ", the practice of tattooing was discontinued.
A Chin Village prisoner 's tattoo featured a snake on his upper chest which wrapped around his right arm. Other groups and individuals throughout the four nations also bear tattoos. For the most part, these appear to be purely ornamental and do not carry any significant meaning.

While not an official designation of their lifestyle, tattoos are common among criminals or people who participate in otherwise less-than-legal activities. The pirates that attacked Aang, and later Zuko , [23] as well as the criminals imprisoned in Chin Village , sported tattoos.
One of the prisoners in Chin Village even noted that tattoos would help one fit in among other criminals. In the Earth Kingdom, there is a cultural attitude to keep a light and clear complexion.
