How to get ink off your hands?

I'm doing the place cards and using a calligraphy pen. This pen likes to leak, so I have black ink stains on my hands. I won't be done with the cards till tonight (Tues.) and the wedding is on Sunday. Is there any way to get the ink stains off fast?

Since there are a few days left, they might even just come off after my regular schedule of handwashing. But it never hurts to ask if there's a faster way. TIA!

Try hairspray.

I think alcohol works

saturate your hand with alcohol, and gently rub your skin with your nail. Then wash hands and moisturize. Not all of it will come off, but it should lighten considerably....

Try toothpaste and a scrub brush.

Dishwasher detergent will also help get rid of ink stains, BUT it is too harsh to use on skin! (Good for white clothes, though!)

Hand sanitizer....goes along with the alcohol idea. Put that on, rub and if it's stubborn, use your finger nail to get it off.
