Tips & Warnings
Make sure you get your suit dry-cleaned after you remove the stain. You will need to get the smell of the hairspray out of it before you wear it again.
You can also try commercial products designed specifically for removing ink stains.
Don't wait to remove the ink stain. The longer you wait, the less of a chance you have of removing the ink from your suit.
