    No, 9v batteries have almost no shock to them. Put one on your tongue or lick your finger and touch the terminals. You’ll feel nothing.

      I mean, if you lick a 9v you definitely feel something. It’s not painful, but it’s not natural or pleasant either.

        If those are separate pieces of metal embedded in the skin, they will feel something. If it’s just an incomplete ring, it will draw so much current that the battery voltage drops too low to feel anything but the heat.
