If you mean the bar, then even stainless of that size is going to be very low resistance - milliohms?
If you mean the body, then I believe it gets complicated. Skin resistance will be diminished by the piercings having a relatively large contact area and probably being somewhat sweat covered - I'm not sure exactly what the 'skin' inside the piercing tunnel is like. Certainly you can feel current from a 9V across the wet inner-body skin of your tongue.
The internal path will be quite low resistance because the inside of the body is a sack full of salty water.
It wouldn't be fatal, even across the chest, but it could hurt.
If you touch the contacts of a nine volt battery to your bare skin you generally don't feel anything; you might if there's sweat, you'll feel it on your tongue, but across two breasts worth of chest like I understood them to mean in the comment I was replying to?
Thats a fuckton of resistance compared to 9v of electrical pressure
Edit: I'm literally doing so as I type this. Even against areas of my skin that are more likely to have electrolytes and moisture like my underarms- I feel absolutely nothing. 9 volts is a pitiful amount of electrical pressure compared to the resistance of the body. Go get a 9v. Try it.
