It would probably start getting uncomfortably warm pretty quickly, but I doubt you'd feel the current.

I'd bet you'd feel as much current as licking a 9volt. The nose is a mucus membrane, so not very resistant to electricity

Yes but the nose ring is metal. So you’d short the battery using it, allowing as much current as a 9v could muster across the ring. Depending on how thick the ring, it would heat up, and potentially cause burning. But no electric shock.

Though I wonder how much punch those things have. It's 9v but I wouldn't be surprised if that voltage drops quite a bit if offered little resistance.

If I had a nose ring like that one, I’d give it a shot, out of my nose of course, but alas, I don’t yet
