Start with taking off whatever you can with acetone or nail polish remover on a cotton swab, unless its very near the symbol or paint. Then comes the part that takes a while- sunfading. Use aluminum foil to cover at least the hair if not all of the pony but the ink spot, then head it over to a window or the back dash of your car where it will get sun Check the spot daily. Depending on where you live you may not have good results in winter.

Yep, sunfading is the best thing for ink stains. Good luck! I hope they fade quickly.

Don't use tinfoil for covering, it can scratch symbols/eyes pretty badly! I use paper towels.
Looking for: Alternate Birthflowers, Baity wingers, So softs - both minty and for deflocking - and DREAM BEAUTIES!

I would suggest a magic eraser as well - to be honest its a good idea before you get as far as sunfading as its a little quicker and easier to test first. Again with them you need to be careful near paint and symbols.
Thank you Matcha for my gorgeous Baby Fifi avi :hug:
