Storing/Retrieving Images Performance

Does anyone have any experience with storing images in a mysql database?
With an application I am creating, I want to store a user's picture along with their information. There are can be 100,000k users. MySQL's documentation recommends not storing images needed for a website in a database because the webserver can cache them more effectively. I wanted to know if it makes sense to store these images in a database and wrap a cache around them. I would prefer to store all my information in a database so everything is in one place. Are there any reason I shouldn't do what I was planning?

Thanks
