What do you want them to do in after effects?

Animate the ink drops so it looks like it drips on.

There is a brush in illistrator you could use to make the ink drops. Make them different layers for each drop.
Try animating the scale of the drops in AE, maybe set keyframe to ease in so they grow fast then ‘bleed’ out slowly at the end. Also mess with blending modes so it looks more like its soaking into paper.

Someone else might know a better way of doing this, I guess it depends on the level of detail you need and how fast it will all happen.

Maybe I downloaded it,

Try search for ‘inkspot’ at Adobe studio exchange. Theres some good brushes there.

If youre talking about the mk12 or psyop style of using ink like flowing in water, you have to film it. theres no way of faking it. trust me, i have tried.
