They don't. Piercing jewelry is usually made from robust materials that are inert in normal conditions, like stainless steel, gold, plastics, and sometimes glass or gemstones. So, no, you don't taste anything, just as you don't taste a plastic cup, ceramic mug, or stainless steel pot.

    A cup of tea tastes completely different out of a ceramic mug, than it does a plastic one.

    I think they might be talking about the taste of blood of a fresh or infected piercing. Blood tastes like keys.
