You will not get sick from it. Even if the ink is carcinogenic, the amount of exposure is negligible enough to not be a cause for concern. You can reduce your risk of cancer by adopting healthy habits: Eat a mostly vegetarian diet, avoid alcohol, tobacco and street drugs, avoid excessive exposure to sun, maintain healthy weight, get HPV vaccine, exercise 30 minutes each day.
