Ink in skin

2017-11-16 16:07:58
I was messing around with a pen and it accidentally stabbed into my thumb and I had to pull it out, now there's ink in my skin/flesh (not on the surface, actually under and it was bleeding)?How do I get it out? I've heard similar stories and some still have it 30 years later.
