Flame jobs are soooo common these days, but you could do that. If you're looking to do something different, ask yourself what kind of art you like.

Say you like Western Indian art, or Japanese art, you could do something that borrows themes from that.

What are your hobbies? Is there a particular music album cover you like?

My $0.02.
 
ditto to above, and...

I have always wanted to get an H.R. Gieger theme
I've always been a big fan of Giger's work! The themes for some of his works are pretty dark and twisted, but there's no denying his talent!

One of my favorites has always been "BIRTHMACHINE" shown below...

Another of my favorite Giger pieces is "ELP". This isn't a great scan (found on the net) but gives you an idea of what the piece looks like.

I want to get mine done like this or a variant of it some day

If the artist is good BT, get a "theme" involving multiple faces all being yours or your kids.

I saw one once that was on a shelf.  It was a boat pulling a skier w/a hot air balloon w/basket.  People in basket.  All faces were the painter himself.  Looked neat.  Could always get an original scooby doo.  I painted sponge bob for my girls helmet last year.

have fun with it. When i went to talk to the guy who did the paint for me I told him this: "I want it to look like a Headless Horseman type theme. Like in the cartoons we used to watch as a kid. Remember the horseman used to throw the pumpkin at Ichabod Crane....? THAT!!!"
This is what the guy created for me!
