In this paper, we study the effects of the presence of the tachyon field around the black hole. We show that in presence of the tachyon field, unlike the ordinary canonical scalar field, the time evolution of the black hole mass depends on the potential of this field. By considering several types of potential, we study the behavior of the black hole mass and its time evolution and find some interesting results. We find that the presence of the tachyon field causes the accretion of the mass into the black hole. We also show that with linear and hilltop potentials, in some ranges of the parameters space, the mass of the black hole can decrease even without any Hawking radiation.
