    Actually, just use rubbing alcohol and a cotton ball (or an alcohol prep swab). It takes out ink VERY well.

    yup,
    isopropyl alcohol 70%
    apply with cotton ball and rub
    lightly in small circular motions

    repeat as necessary until all ink is removed

    The leather manual contains a stain problem solving section at Problem Solving Tips that lists a number of common leather staining problems and the corrective action to take, including the appropriate products to use.

    In general, you’ll find that most of our care and stain remover products can handle Pigmented and aniline leathers. Special products are provided for NuBuck/Suede leathers. If you aren’t sure of your leather type, consult Identifying Leather.

    I’ve used acetone to remove pen marks on leather before. It is a deglazer though, and needed oiling after. I hope it’s not white leather.

    or take a can of cheap hair spray, the pressurized kind
    spray some on a dry towel, from close enough range to make a "wet spot" on the towel (3-4"away)

    use the BACK side of that spot on the towel to rub the ink

    PRESTO, it’s gone!!!
