hello! I recently discovered your atla art and au and I absolutely adore it all!
that being said…. I noticed that Sokka appears to have tunniit (Inuit traditional tattoos). culturally speaking tattoos were/are sacred, every line has a meaning every dot a purpose, and primarily a practice among women. I am not Inuit, nor am I an expert, but do know that the chin tattoo is supposed to signify coming of age among women (aka the first period) so it’s a bit odd to see Sokka with it (unless… trans Sokka??). From what I know if men did have tattoos, it’d be more likely to appear on the arms (tho I have heard that some will get a tattoo tattoo across the bridge of the nose after a successfully hunting big game but I’ve also heard that used to mark murders so idk)
hi! yes, I answered a similar ask before hand, :D In my older art (and unfortunately most of the sokka art I had drawn) I had feminine tattoo on him by accident, when I did research it was all in English </3. I am not Inuit and not an expert as well, and I changed it to what the person who originally asked said was masculine face tattoo, and I cant remember but I think it had the line across nose as you mention!!! it could definitely still be wrong, though </3 I havent drawn for the au in a long time but if you had any recommendations for in case I draw it again, pls lmk in another ask or a dm!!! Ty for asking & informing!!! :D <3
