Black lines: Discoloration of the penile skin can happen from infetions (fungal), skin lesions (melanoma), endocrine (thyroid or adrenal problems). If these are new worthwhile to see your doctor or a urologist.

Needs examination: Can be mole or other pigmentation but also can be more serious skin or other medical condition. Needs to be checked out with a doctors examination.
