The most outgoing, thoughtful, kind tattoo shop I’ve been to. Everyone is so sweet and really listens to what you want done. I get tattooed by Rachel and she does amazing work!

Emily is THE BEST artist to work with! She's amazing in all aspects (from the consult to the tattooing itself). She's not heavy-handed, so the area she worked on won't swell up ten times its normal size. Plus, she's just a great human. Go see her, you'll be thankful you did!!

This was my first time being at this tattoo place. I had a great experience. Emily makes you feel welcome.  She’s super friendly and kind and knows what she is doing.  She is very talented in her skills. I recommend her.  Keep on using your amazing gifts Emily! God bless you!

Emily did an amazing design to cover a  25+ year old tattoo. Her work is extraordinary, very friendly, down to earth and listes to great music. lol

Emily is great. Light touch, quick, and checks in to see how you are doing regularly. 

Just had my second visit with Rachel,  and she’s been wonderful to work with. She is super attentive, creative, and supportive! Her hard work and dedication shine through her beautiful artwork! Super proud to have multiple pieces from her. 

Amazing! Black Heart Tattoo has a fun relaxing  atmosphere with talented artists. Emily creates the most beautiful tattoos from my ideas! The absolute best

Emily always does a great job! Hands down will be my go-to person for tattoos in middle Tennessee!

Emily worked her magic like always. Highly recommend 🫶🏻

Great experience!! Love it here. Recommend these ladies to everybody. 

Emily was amazing from start to finish! She is very easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable. Her professionalism and love for her craft is shown in her work. I will absolutely be booking more sessions. 

Had a wonderful experience with Emily, very chill environment- great talent. Already scheduled another appointment, thanks so much again!💯😁🎉🏆

Went in with no real idea of what I wanted just gave Emily some very vague ideas and she designed an awesome piece

Emily was fantastic! Attention to detail and made our dreams a reality. Good vibes and conversation as well as chill music... it is giving! 

Couldn’t recommend Black Heart more!! Emily always does beautiful work and never fails to amaze me with how incredible everything turns out! 

Absolutely Amazing experience, From Booking to getting into the chair, Rachel was very communicative and very open to ideas and changes! Will be back!

The atmosphere was very professional, staff was courteous and Ms. Emily did a phenomenal job with my watercolor tattoo.  I couldn't have asked for a more detailed and beautiful design.  I will definitely be back.

Rachel was fantastic. She helped me with placement and color.  She did such a nice job that I am having design and fix an old tattoo. Highly recommend!

Rachel is amazing.  Her designs and ideas took what I wanted to the next level.  She makes the tattoo experience personal.  The shop itself is so relaxed and calm which makes your tattoo day more of a spa day.  Thank you Rachel so much.  

Exceptional experience! Very welcoming place and Emily is really good at what she does! 

Emily was amazing, she listened to every want and need for my daughters first tattoo design and executed it perfectly!! The shop is so nice, inviting and clean and the staff was very nice as well. We will definitely be going back for more work. Thank you so much!!! 

Best shop in Cookeville! Started getting work done 2019 from owner Emily. She is the best!! Very professional and does phenomenal work. Now that she has expanded and has a few interns she definitely will have some great artist working with her . I highly recommend her , oh yes and not to mention great at cover-ups 😀

Very helpful and encouraging for advice on my first tattoo 

I love these ladies! I have several tattoos but I have been tattooed four times total now with Black Heart Tattoo. I started years ago with Emily (the owner) and decided to give Rachel a try as an apprentice as well.  They are gentle, yet effective and detailed & precise with their work. I have no scaring with an excellent & fast heal time. They are nothing but professional and talented! I am excited to continue to get work done by them as well as other aspiring artists in the future.

Great people and even better artists. Everyone makes you feel at home whether it’s your first time there or 100th. 10/10 recommend 

I had the honor of getting a piece done by Rachel. She took her time to answer the many questions I had, made sure the design was what wanted (she went above and beyond!) and made sure I was comfortable. 
I would recommend her to anyone. She’s amazing.  I definitely will be returning! <3

Just got my first tattoo at 47.  Emily was fun and knowledgeable.  She made my experience great.  

Had an amazing experience! Emily was great and was able to bring what I wanted to life. Will definitely be coming back!

Emily took my idea and came up with a tattoo that was so much more than I had imagined. I would recommend to anyone. 

This was my first time getting a tattoo, and the staff and artist went beyond any expectations.  Emily is an outstanding and talented professional with a keen eye for detail. I look forward to coming back very soon to add more pieces. 

Thank you! :)

This was my daughters first tattoo and Emily made it a great experience for her. Your shop is set up so nice, super cute and clean. And Emily is just such a nice person. We both got the tattoo we expected and very happy with the outcome.

Emily is a talented artist who takes pride in her work!  I appreciate how clean the studio is and having great music to jam out to is always a plus!!!  Definitely one of the absolute best in the Cookeville area!

Had a wonderful time with Emily today as always !! Her work is fantastic, love my new sleeve !! Can’t wait to come back for another tattoo ❤️

Emily was prepared for our appointment, had some different ideas about the piece I wanted, which I liked.  She has a very steady hand, and it’s obvious she is experienced.  Very pleased with her work..will be my go to artist..

I absolutely loved my experience. Emily Sands was my artist and she was the best! She was very kind and helpful with all my questions. The design that she came up with was beautiful and is now one of my favorite pieces. Overall I had an amazing experience and I am definitely going to recommend Black Heart Tattoo to my friends!

Rachel was great! She was very nice and personable. She always checked in for my comfort level and made sure it was a great experience. Thank you Rachel, I’ll be back!

I’ve been coming to Emily now for 8 years and she is hands down one of the most amazing tattoo artists you will find! She can do any and everything! So thankful to have her in our lives! Great friend and great tattoo artist! 🩷

Rachel is absolutely amazing! She is so caring, 100% cares about your happiness, how you want your tattoo. I love her big time and I am glad that I found her! ❤️

Rachel is so wonderful! She's sweet, fast, and clean. Listens well and provides great feedback! 

Rosa was amazing. This was my first tattoo and she walked me through the whole process. I could not have asked for a better experience. I am definitely planning my next tattoo already. 

Emily is very accommodating with her time... would never go anywhere else.... new ship is beautiful and easy to get to.... next

Recomendada 100 % , Emily es una gran artista del tatuaje y muy profesional , visítenla ella está en baxter. 

It was amazing, my first ever tattoo, I’m in love with it, thank you Rachel!

Emily did an awesome job on my tattoo today! I got a pink peony and butterfly . She had previously did the butterfly at a flash sale back in December but I got it filled in with pink and a pink peony in memory of my momma💕💕💕I LOVE IT! Emily is so kind and i appreciate her taking her time and doing a great job! 💕

This is the third tattoo I have had done by Emily and she is AMAZING!!  She is professional, an amazing artist and takes your ideas and makes them come to life! 

Always love getting tattooed with Emily! She really  takes time to understand my vision, and follow through with quality work. Also, I came in with a bad mood today, and I actually left feeling better emotionally! Emily has good people skills too and puts people at ease.

We had the best time! Shared stories and laughed! She helped make me and my besties girls day the best!

Emily helped my vision come to life and I couldn't be happier! 

My consultation with Rachel was so swift and easy, she understood exactly what I wanted.

Emily was amazing! She took my vision and made it even cooler. She was professional, considerate, and kind. Highly recommend! 

Black Heart is easily my favorite tattoo shop in the area. The vibe is super relaxed and welcoming, and the girls are seriously talented. Emily is highly skilled, experienced, and versatile. Although new to tattooing, Rachel already has the skills and knowledge of a pro. I've had the pleasure of getting tattoos from both of these amazing ladies, and every experience exceeded my expectations. Check out Emily's other apprentices, also. Definitely recommend!! Get the tattoo! You won't regret it (:

Emily was so sweet. It was the best tattoo experience I have ever had.  Would absolutely recommend. 

This is the second time i’ve been to Emily. It’s always super comfortable and her and her apprentices are all very sweet! her work is phenomenal, her line work is SO good! All of my tattoos from my previous appointment look perfect!
highly recommend:-)

Very clean and professional, the staff is welcoming, they do great work.

Emily was so incredible. Not only was she a fantastic artist and light handed. She also made me feel so comfortable and really captured what I was looking for with the piece. I will happily have her do my future pieces.

Emily is hands down the BEST there is. We had an accident come up and she was able to switch my appt and move my husband spot in. Didn’t have any issues and her work was phenomenal. So thankful to have someone so flexible and willing. 

Emily is the absolute best! She brings all my visions to life perfectly! Not only is she a great artist, but she’s truly a great person to be around as well. If you’re thinking about getting a tattoo, book with Emily! 🫶🏼

Amazing work done today. This was the second tattoo I’ve had her do and I plan to come back for more. 

Emily is an amazing artist! I just got my first tattoo with her and she did a great job designing exactly what I wanted! 10/10 work and can't wait to get more tattoos from her in the future!

emily is such a wonderful artist and such a comforting presence while getting tatted! makes you feel like you’ve know her your whole life, really a great experience 

Emily is amazing! She just did my husband's tattoo today, and he is so in love with it and proud to show it off. I recommend her 1,000% and then some!

The BEST first tattoo experience I could have hoped for. Emily is talented, professional, fun, and so knowledgeable! 

This was my first tattoo. A memorial to my daddy. Emily was great during the whole process. Answering questions, helping me design what I wanted, making me feel comfortable during the tattoo. I love it & how it turned out. Highly recommend Black Heart Tattoo!!! 

It's a relaxing environment. Emily is very experienced. Will go again 

Very professional, chill and laid back.  Did everything I asked and exceeded my expectations. I will be back and recommend to her. 

Just got my 3rd tattoo from Emily! It certainly won’t be the last & her artistry beyond amazing! 1000% recommend! 

Love the ladies of Black Heart tattoo!! Emily is always the best and her tattoos are incredible. So lucky to have such talented artists here!

Sharing my tattoo idea & capturing a core memory and making it a permanent one! Phenomenal! 

Emily is the best!  Gracious, and keeps first timers at ease, and super quality precision work.  Highly recommend 🥰

Emily is an extremely talented artist.  Her work is exceptional, with an equally exceptional and welcoming personality.  She's very open to listening to what the client wants, but also great at guiding & creating the clients ideas to become true art.  Very detail oriented artist. Her shop, in Baxter, is the best!!
 I would highly recommend Emily to anyone wanting to be tattooed by a truly skilled artist!!

Emily is awesome at what she does! I couldn’t be more pleased with the tattoo that she did for me and will definitely recommend her to anyone that is looking to get a tattoo done.
