Linking images to custom object

Hello, new to Salesforce and was wondering how to tackle a issue that deals with images. I've created a custom object (called Shirt) which deals with a product to be sold. It has fields for things like name, description, etc...

I'd like to also include images with this object so when people look at a Shirt record will see all the images of this particular shirt.

Not sure if a custom object can hold a image field or if I need to handle this another way. 

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

​Mike

What I would do is to create a Text Area field on the object and the Base64Encode [1] the image and store it on the object.  Then you can just output it in a img or apex:image tag [2]
