You just upload a picture to webspace that you have administrator access to, send a PM to the person whose IP address you want with that picture in an [img] tag, then check the IP logs to see who has viewed that picture. If you only sent it to one person - then there will only be two IP addresses in those logs. Yours, and theirs.

For anyone who knows what they're doing after that point... it's relatively easy to identify an individual (or at least, a household) from "only" an IP address.
