What I did was use Leatherique. That didn't clean it itself, but pampered the leather. THeir pristine clean & prep agent didn't work. Then I used lighter fluid on a cotton cloth. That did it. And since the area was saturated with leatherique, the fluid didn't hurt the leather but cleaned the ink. And of course, re-leatheriqued the area.
Don't use goo off or goof off or any of those as they are too strong.
To deal with the creases & wear in the leather, I used old-fashioned indelible black ink. In small areas, it "dyes" the leather. For large areas say over 1", I'd say it's time to redye the seats.

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
At my shop, I would try the hairspray at first, if not then a spray wax and a rag with gently remove the ink.
Do not use the magic eraser as it has bleach in it. Will cause colour damage to your leather. Its also abrasive so you will have visual damage too if rubbed for to long.
