Any help will be much appreciated.
It's because it's not permanent. You need archival, permanent ink. It would say it on the container. The super cheap ones are almost never permanent.

You should be able to use a sealant to hold it. I would use a spray fixative as there would be less of a chance of it smearing while you are sealing it.
