You use a diamond core tile drill which is the appropriate size to the diameter you need.
Common drill sizes for tiles are 6mm and 8mm for rawl plugs.
For service pipes they are 16mm 30mm and 40mm. These will cover radiator pipes, waste pipes, shower head and other hole sizes.
To stop the diamond core hole saw or drill bit from slipping you need a guide plate to hold it steady on the tile.

What is the benefit to putting oil on a drill bit?
When you drill into something a lot of heat is created due to friction. The heat will cause both the drill bit and the material you are drilling to expand. Especially if you are drilling metal, adding oil will reduce friction, and prevent the drill bit from seizing up in the hole due to the expansion of the bit.
Can I drill a hole in glass?
