I imagine it would depend on what type of piercing it was. They don't all go through the urethra do they? If it was one that did, like the Prince Albert, then yeah, he would have to take it out.

I'd say it'd depend on whether or not the anatomy would accommodate the foley with the piercing left in place, or not.
