I just got a tongue piercing and the swelling has went down some but I noticed that there is an impression in my tongue where the ball sits at the top and the hole has gotten bigger is that normal?

Well actually that's not a good thing, the barbell was too short for the piercing to allow for swelling, the expansion of the piercing hole is and indication of some sensitivity to the metal or the aftercare product you are using. Consider seeing your piercer tomorrow to have them take a look.

Are you supposed to pierce with a bigger needle than the jewelry?
It is not a must, But it is a good idea to use a needle that is slightly bigger than the jewelery you are using to allow for swelling and to also allow air flow so that your fresh piercing heals faster. ergo if you are using a 14 gauge piece of jewelery you should use a 12 or 13 gauge needle.
