This is abit far off. But what of Ink was never turned. Maybe he took a mixture of thoese chemicals which turned him into something zombie-ish. But not quiet full brain muncher. We know his eyes where still green when the tower guys spotted him. And his ability to communicate with the survivors. And to perform actions such as tattooing the little ones. Indicates that he still can perform human functions. The image that was published shoes Ink in all his 3d glory. But with a rather immaculate suit. With no bite marks. This is all just me rambling. But maybe my tin foil hat theory is the same as others? Also in America fo you give murder suspects bullet/slash proof vests? That would explain the metalic clunk after Burt shot him. Perhaps the scene outside the court house was not the turning of Ink, but the setting lose of Ink.
