An AAAA cell has 200-350 mohms internal resistance. A 9v battery has 6 of them in series (many of them are literally that, others have their cells as a stack of plastic buckets). The nose ring is a short run of wire, it's idunno a 0.2 ohm heater?

I think the septum is going to get pretty toasty.

Well now I want to try this with my septum piercing and find out

Do it with the piercing OUT OF YOUR BODY. You don't want a hot piece of metal that you can't get off of yourself fast enough.
