DAVID J McCAMMON
January 3, 1962 to August 25, 2021
David was from St. Paul Minnesota. He served in the United States Air Force and became involved in the Minnesota leather scene, most notable as Minnesota Drummer boy 1998.
David’s lifelong dream of becoming a piercer came to fruition also in 1998 as he served his apprenticeship under Jim Ward with Gauntlet piercing in San Francisco. Soon after he became the co-owner of Gauntlet which became Gotham Body Piercing with stores in SF and Guerneville Ca until the move to Palm Springs in 2004. At that time the business became known as Palm Springs Piercing for which it remained until his retirement from piercing in July of this year.
David is survived by his soul mate and husband Rob McCammon, two sisters Laurie and Debbie.
The piercing company was a vendor at all major leather weekends from IML, ABW, MAL and PS Leather just to name a few. David’s involvement, support and donations were present at countless local,state, regional and Int’l contests, too many to mention.
Hawaii was his home of heart and spirit.
Aloha and Mahalo.
A memorial was held on August 29th in Palm Springs.
