An easy thing to do is store the image on the file system and then store the path to it in the db. That tends to be easier than trying to write the bytes of the image into the db.

There's really no point in storing an entire image to a database, and in fact, many don't directly support it (I'm sure there's exceptions). As ryanb31 suggested, the best way to deal with images is to place them somewhere on a server and just link them to your database. All associated tags can be in the database itself, but the image itself would be stored externally.

This article talks about options you have for that:
