After you have washed your hands with soap and you still have ink on them, you could try lava soap - it has bits of pumice in it. Hair spray is also a good one. Spray the area and leave for about 10 seconds and then wash it off with warm soapy water. Be careful not to break the skin if you do decide to use a very weak solution of bleach after that - and moisturise your hands thoroughly.Hope it works for you.

I have not read all the replies but, try dry hand cleaner or peroxide.

Nail polish remover and hair spray are made with acetone. They both remove ink but it sounds like the ink has soaked into the dry layers of skin. These will shed over the next few days so relax.

Hairspray works to get ink off fabric. I would think it would work on skin also. Try it.

Hair spray did not work on the ink. It has faded some, but now my hands just look dirty. Thanks for all the suggestions.

My ink cartridge broke open. I have blue ink all over both hands. I look like a Smurf.
I've tried Windex, GooGone and alcohol.
