They prob wouldn't get shocked but the ring and battery will get very hot very quick as there i pretty much no resistance wich means there is a lot of current flowing.

Someone else in the comments claimed to have calculated a resistance of 0.2 ohms.

I=U÷R

9V ÷ 0.2Ω = 45A

45 amps is a lot of current to flow through a nose ring. I don't know how much that is in heat but i'd expect you to get burned from it

You won't get more than a few mA out of an alkaline, but heat does build up. (Internal resistance)

A NiMH on the other and can give over 10 amps. They're a seriously risky thing to leave around loose metal bits. Or attached to thin wires.

Definitely won’t get shocked. I’ve run estim through nipple piercings and no shocks
