I believe you can get a hole punched out of your ear if you want to start bigger...I saw a video somewhere but I cant think where at the moment...

I didnt get mine punched I just added another ear ring to the hole every week. mine was a little smaller than yours (I took it out a few days ago), but it has shrunk alot in the past few days. And I didnt have the "tunnel" I just had a load of ear rings in one hole.
