I'm really scared right now. I think I had a blowout before putting this tunnel in, I used a same size spiral/hanging style before and I just thought a tunnel would be better to sleep with. Right ear is fine, using the same tunnel.
THIS IS MY LEFT EAR GONE WRONG! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO!

congratulations, you just affectively down sized your left ear..... That sucks but Nothing to worry about. You just tore the inside of the fistula. The blue spots just look like small contusions (slight bruising). Downsize to something comfortable and baby it for a few weeks. Keep in mind that when putting in tunnels, you usually have to rock them through lobe or, I mean, start them into the ear on an angle, pull down and rotate the tunnel into place. The layer of skin lining the fistula is softer and can be easily torn. Just be more careful next time. Maybe try a lubricant to help get your jewelry in next time. You can get some at any tattoo and piercing shop. Good luck.
