Unless you have a crazy high gauge or multiple piercings/hoops... it won't set off the metal detector. It may set off the hand wand... but the metal detectors try to be calibrated to not pick up zippers, bra underwire, or the bits of metal in buttons and collars.
However, if you have more metal than, say, a belt buckle throughout your body, the recommendation is to remove them before going through security (and replace them with bio-safe plastic if the piercings are new and need to have something in them lest they heal/close up)
