would it be possible to solve this problem by making different inks? or would any ink that doesn’t have this problem just inherently be non-permanent

Not a biologist but I believe the latter. If the ink could be broken down by the macrophages in your lymph nodes it would likely be broken down in its intended location in your skin too, as their are lyphatic capillaries and vessels throughout our skin.
