Go to a very reputable shoe repair in your area. There are some tricks to it but you can not let it set too long. They have something that at one time was called a scuff zapper but I dont know what they are now. Hair spray can work also. There are some cleaners that you can use with a qtip but since it is beige be very careful the color on beige comes off very easy. Also try to find a spray dye that is the same or close so you can feather back in the color if it comes out. I worked with leather for 15 years in a shoe repair and ink was not one of the easier things to get out. You can also look for someone in your area who cares for leather furniture.

do not try any of the recommended tips so far given as they will destroy your leather.
felt tip is very difficult to remove even by specialists,
i am an upholsterer by trade and specialise in repairing leather.
i use a dampcloth with lux flakes first to try and fade it back b4 the ink drys hard ,then an ink remover stick ,if the stain is old it will only fade it back a bit more.
the ink mark will fade away in time by friction if it is on a hard wearing area ie seat or arms as they get constant useage,however if it is anywere else i am afraid you may have to contact a specialist to re-colour the affected area.
i hope this helps if not you can contant me for further advice

Firstly try baby wet wipes, honestly this was recommended by a specialist if that does not work buy some surgical spirit from the chemist and use it very sparingly i.e. on a cotton bud, good luck

if you,ve got any mens deodorant(lynx is best) that will bring it straight off. just give it a direct blast and wipe it up.you could also try whisky as its the pure alcohol in the deodorant
