Is 17.75 bmi good or bad?

It depends on your height, but I'd say that's pretty good because mine is 31.2 and I'm obese, but I don't even look it, but that's because I'm 5 foot 1. *** No, no, body mass index numbers already factor in a person's height, though the equation makes no allowance for frame size or fat vs muscle content. A BMI of 17.75 is slightly underweight (the cutoff is 18.5).

Does gaining muscle mass affect the appearance of a tattoo?

If you gain muscle mass then it will stretch it. But if you gain a lot of muscle mass then it will stretch it and make it fade color. Depending on how much muscle mass you gain will depend on how much it stretches and fades. the tattoo should stretch to fit with your new size. however using steroids will cause the tattoo to stretch too far in one direction or another, thus permanently disfiguring it. whether it will fade i dont know. but the tattoo will resize with you skin (Assuming natural muscle growth).
