It depends on how much ink and what type of ink. I wear lab coat and usually work with black pen ink lines or occasional blot of ink. With this smaller amount ink, hairspray works best for me. I will work it or soak it depending on the ink's response to the stain.
Ink stains clothing because the pigments in the ink adhere to the fibers of the fabric. This adherence makes it difficult for the ink to be easily removed by washing. Additionally, some inks may contain oils or chemicals that can further penetrate and set into the fabric, making the stain even harder to remove.
Fresh ink stains haven't had time to set into the fibers of the cloth, making them easier to remove with appropriate cleaning methods. Over time, older ink stains can become more ingrained in the fabric, making them harder to eliminate completely.
You can use hairspray to remove ink from clothing. Spray enough hairspray on the stain so that it penetrates the material. Then rub the fabric on itself. This helps to release the ink from the fibres. Then rub some handsoap onto the stain and rub into the fabric. Scrub the fabric and rinse. Repeat if necessary. This works best on cotton, polyester, and denim.
Try using a product called the Amodex Ink and Stain remover. It is a cream solution and works on all Inks including permanent markers. Amodex also removes stains from fabrics and surfaces, including leather and upholstered items.
Vinegar can be effective for removing some stains from fabric due to its acidic properties. It works best on stains like sweat, coffee, and mildew. However, it may not be as effective on tougher stains like ink or blood. It is always recommended to spot test on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric before using vinegar on the stain.

Hopefully you have not washed and dried the fabric. I spray hair spray on the ink. Use lots of it and you will see the ink start to run down the fabric. Then wash the item in cold water. If the ink was not totally removed repeat. If you can help it do not dry in the dryer until the stain is totally removed.

Water-based stains such as coffee, tea, and juice can be removed with water or a mild detergent. Oil-based stains like grease, makeup, and ink can be removed with solvents such as rubbing alcohol, acetone, or dish soap. Protein-based stains like blood or sweat can be treated with cold water or enzymatic cleaners.
Hairspray contains chemicals that help break down ink stains and make them easier to remove from fabric. The alcohol content in hairspray acts as a solvent to dissolve the ink.
To remove blood stains from clothing, you can soak the fabric in cold water and gently rub the stain with a mild detergent. For tougher stains, you can use hydrogen peroxide or a stain remover specifically designed for blood stains. Avoid using hot water as it can set the stain further into the fabric.
Ink stain removal depends largely on the type of surface it is on. If there is ink stain on clothing, it is best to dilute it out with rubbing alcohol while the stain is fresh. For deeper stains, a stronger product such as oxiclean will need to be used.
Unfortunately, bleach stains are permanent as the bleach removes the color from the fabric. One possible solution is to dye the fabric to cover up the bleach stain or use a bleach pen to create a design that incorporates the stain. Alternatively, consider using a fabric marker to color in the affected area.
Hydrogen peroxide can be effective at removing ink stains, especially if used promptly. Apply a small amount to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, and then gently blot with a clean cloth. Repeat if necessary, and wash the fabric as usual afterwards.
