Ugh. I'm sorry.

The important thing about leather ink marks is to deal with it quickly. The longer the ink sets into the leather the more difficult it's going to be to get it out. I've heard you can use isopropyl alcohol. You'd want to use a textured cotton swab. The objective is to confine the work as small an area as possible. You don't want to smear the ink into new areas.

Important: After the spot removal, you'll need to condition the leather.

There are also some commercial products like Amodex that are supposed to work well for ink spot removal on car leather.

If you aren't successful, seek out a professional detailer to assist you (very soon).

Try a Clorox wipe and gently rub away….possibly hair spray too (it breaks down ink).
