It’s a somewhat common phrase used particularly by christians. It originates from this bible verse (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.”
The verse refers to avoiding sexual immorality, but I have heard Christians apply the verse to tattoos several times too lol. Some of them don’t like tattoos for some reason 🤷♂️
who ever said this
Some people have said exactly that to me. I don’t have any tattoos myself but I have not a single care if someone does have them.
I have personally heard people call their bodies temples.
