I am very much a Bizarre kind of girl, I love their articles and find their coverage of [unique events](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) a real inspiration, as reflected in my Trend Hunter portfolio. That said, I have stopped short of writing about the self amputees pictured in the gallery above.

Going a few steps further, Bizarre has now launched their own extreme photo agency, which will be a one-stop shop for the [strangest images in the world](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/absurd-content). I have a feeling they will also be a [great source of inspiration](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sparkbites), so make sure you check it out online.
