When Ink bleeds through acrylic on paper

Hey all- i've been working on an intricate ink-on-a-paper piece for a while- it's a smooth Fabriano paper, I think about 90 lbs.
The inks I mainly use are Tombow brush pens.

At the top of the paper, I didn't like the colors I used initially, so I started painting with white acrylic over it, first with a brush, then with an airbrush, but the ink has continued to bleed through, even after a few coats of a matte spray (in the middle and right areas of the page, the paint has mostly covered over the colors, in other words they've stuck).

Have you experienced something similar?
Should I be doing more coats? using a matte medium that's brushed on? using a white-out type of product?

Open to any insights if you've been here.
Thanks!

If necessary I can add images so you can see it, but you can get the idea with words alone, fwiw
