what culture are the rings on the biceps from /his/? what is their function and/or what do they represent?
the show "relies on the imagery of various East Asian, Inuit, Southeast Asian, South Asian, and New World societies."

I thought that was a Roman thing for women. They had upper arm bracelets. Also Indian and Middle East.
Only East Asian bracelet trend I can think of is the Buddhist beads. It seems pic related was just a stylized choice that the inventors wanted to make for their show.

Thai kickboxers wear ties arond their biceps sort of like that and there's a definite Thai influence in the fire nation aesthetic.
