The root word "necro" means dead. So the necrotic skin is black because it has no blood supply and is dead.

What were black spots in the black death?

The "black spots" in the Black Death referred to the dark lesions or skin discolorations that appeared on the bodies of those infected with the bubonic plague. These spots were caused by subcutaneous hemorrhaging and gangrene, a result of the bacteria Yersinia pestis infecting the body. The presence of these spots, along with other symptoms like fever and swelling, contributed to the devastating mortality rates during the pandemic in the 14th century. The term "Black Death" itself reflects both the disease's lethality and the dark, necrotic appearance of the afflicted skin.

Is you belly button post to change colors around the outside after being pieced?

Depends on your skin etc. For example I had mine and it was pink, and a little red from being sore but then it went like black around it about 6/7 mothns later. As a doctor I'd say it's nothin to worry about because basically the skin around the piercing is dead, you just have to make sure that the further skin around that doesn't go black as this could mean its necrotic (a skin infection where all the skin dies or travels into your body and does damage). If your skin is looking yellow or green then definitely get it checked out. If the skin looks or feels differently try antisceptic and if there is a lot of pain then see your doctor.
