Prolific cosplayer Hendoart shared her true-to-life costume of the airbender, and stunned with her unique spin on him. Photographer ‘nerdypictures‘ captured the artist depicting the character’s airbending stance from the show.
In the story, Aang has iconic blue arrow tattoos that run down his forehead and go up his limbs. The ink is a part of his Air Nomad culture. Hendo perfectly re-created this, and it’s absolutely jaw dropping.
