Just to recap, the size of the data stored when using BB Code (or in fact, any text) is calculated like this:
character count * bytes per character = total size
So, for [img]https://www.tenchar.domain[/img] in UTF8 (1-4 bytes per character) would be between 36-144 bytes-- even multiplied times one hundred images posted per day, the database size increase would still be negligible.

Okay, I set to 30.

Although my query was resolved and it wasn't the images. But thanks for the info. So, its safe to have lot of images.

Just to be clear, I am saying that it is fine to have BB Code images in the database— even a lot of them. The images themselves are stored elsewhere-- if they were being stored on your site, then it might be an issue.

The images are stored in a third party site such as the Imgbb.
