It is easiest to remove the ink while the ink is still fresh and hasn't set into the leather. If the ink has set, it may take a few attempts to remove.
Things You Will Need
-
Soak a cotton ball or cotton swab in rubbing alcohol.
-
Rub the cotton on the ink stain. Rubbing alcohol dissolves ink. Allow the alcohol to work into the leather for five minutes.
-
Dampen a cloth with water and wipe the surface free of rubbing alcohol. Repeat as needed until the ink is removed.
