The Event Horizon is the spherical region from which light cannot escape.

The Singularity is the point to which matter/energy/space/time has collapsed.

As a black hole evaporates according to Stephen Hawking's equation on the entropy of black holes

it would seem to suggest that between the shell of the Event Horizon and the Singularity, exists a spherical shell that is a balance point where the energy given off by the Singularity matches the gravity pulling it in. Probably not a very pleasant place as you be being ripped in by gravity, and being thrown out by electromagnetic radiation.

Stellar-mass black holes can have have an accretion disk, which (unlike Saturn's famous icy ring system) is a ring of orbiting matter heated to plasma temperatures by friction, which can be detected via the signature x-ray radiation it emits.

No. The mass of a black hole is contained in an infinitely dense insularity. The closes thing that a black hole has to a surface is an event horizon. The event horizon is not a physical surface or boundary; it is simply the point at which the distortion of space and time becomes so great that it is impossible to come back out.

Schwarzschild black holes. Named after the scientist who proved mathematically black holes can exist.


Are black holes pretty?

NO, to see something you have to be able to intercept light reflected from that thing's surface. Black holes have an escape velocity greater than the sped of light so there is no reflected light and they cannot be seen. If they cannot be seen they cannot be pretty ... or ugly.
