How to Wash the Nightclub Ink Stamp Off

The festivities of the weekend are over. You have sobered up, slept it off and are ready to get back to the real world. The only problem is that you can't wash that nightclub ink stamp off of your hand. If you don't want the boss knowing just how much fun you had over the weekend, try one or more of these tips for getting that ink off of your skin.

Instructions

1. Try a professional-strength hand cleanser. These cleansers are typically used by auto mechanics, so they should be able to tackle a simple ink stain.

2. Treat inks that aren't water-soluble with simple rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. Simply moisten a cotton pad and wipe over the affected area. Wash hands with soap and water after the ink stain disappears.

3. Rub a small amount of shortening into the affected area, and wipe away with a clean cloth. If hands are left too greasy, wash them with a grease-cutting dish detergent.

4. Spray the spot with hairspray. Allow to dry, then rinse off with warm water.

5. Scrub the stain with one of those new stain-eraser sponges. Simply wet the sponge and squeeze out all excess water, and it is ready to use.

6. Apply a liberal amount of hand sanitizer gel. Rub until the stain can no longer be seen.

7. Try a little bit of common household bleach. This method is not recommended for people with sensitive skin.

8. Try wiping the area with baby wipes or wet-naps.

Tips & Warnings

• If all attempts fail, know that the stain will disappear with time. Consider applying a dab of concealer until it goes away.

• Hand cleansers containing pumice are pretty effective. Pumice cleansers can sometimes be a bit harsh, so it's good to have some lotion on hand for afterward.
