I think you got that wrong SD. You can hold both terminals of a 12V battery and hardly feel anything. 110V is a different matter. Electric welding kit usually runs at 3 to 6 V, but the amperes.... Or put another way measure your left-hand to right-hand resistance with an Ohm-meter, about a meg-ohm. V=IR for DC, so 12V can push about 12 micro-amperes through you.
