Answers: This will depend on what type of leather you have.
If the ink is on a pigmented leather later the first thing you should try is an ink stick (find one to be exact a professional product used in the industry - LTT do one). The fresher the ink the more fate you have of removing it. Be sure to check the type of leather you hold before doing this as if you use this on an aniline style it will not work and may vacate a greasy mark which will not step away.
If an ink stick doesn't work a solvent based remover will involve to be used and it may also remove finish and pigment so is best left to the experts.
Using hairspray/WD40 and adjectives these other solvent cleaners is very risky as it can put together the matter far worse as it can spread the ink over a bigger nouns and can sometimes then be impossible to fix.
Using alcohol can also be a short time risky depending on how stable the finish is. If the finish is unstable this would remove pigment form the leather.
Nail varnish remover or any other solvents will also remove the finish and pigment which will need replacing.
DO NOT USE Baby wipe as they are about the worst item you can use on a leather as they break down the finish and will eventually ruin it.
Please do not try milk or toothpaste these are silly ideas that will will sticky residues on the surface which will help to break down the finish on your leather.
Magic erasers usually remove finish and pigment along next to the ink.

Silicones/furniture polish are the worst item to use on leather as they will form a coating on the surface of the leather which will not allow any moisture to get to the leather and will eventually break adjectives the finish down and make it crack.
Leather does not inevitability conditioning it needs cleaning and protecting on a regular proof with river based products this will hang on to it rehydrated and supple. Oils will make things much worse.
Leather should be cleaned thoughtfully not scrubbed so 'elbow grease' will with the sole purpose do damage to the finish.
Hide food will not remove ink and will give notice residues on the leather which will attract dirt and oils.
Using a accurate quality leather protector (one that works) will assist make this problem easier should it crop up again, it also does your leather good by protecting it against oil and dirt which ultimately make the pigment crack and the leather deteriorate.
If the ink is on an aniline leather next there is zilch that will work if leather cleaner has not. Basically you enjoy redyed the leather and you would need a specialist to resolve the problem. Using a cleaner and protector on a regular idea will help to dissipate the ink and eventually it will not be so perceptible.
