-.HoD.- Winter Collection - Part 1

On 7th December, Aydan Darcy of -.HoD.- is going to release an incredible collection of 100% original mesh piercing sets with a total of 18 sets in twelve metal colors each. There'll be facial piercings, chest piercings and things that work with ladies' attachments such as butts and boobs.
