This really depends on what type of leather it is.
If it is on a pigmented leather then the first thing you should try is an ink stick. The fresher the ink the more chance you have of removing it. It is a good idea to have one in your house if you have a pale leather and children!!!!
You should also be using a good quality leather protector on a pale suite. This will act like a 'scotchgard' and will make any more mishaps easier to clean off.
If an ink stick doesn't work a solvent based remover will need to be used and it may also remove finish and pigment so is best left to the experts.
Hairspray sometimes works but can also make the matter far worse as it can spread the ink over a bigger area. Nail varnish remover or any other solvents will remove the finish and pigment which will need replacing.
Baby wipes are about the worst thing you can use on a leather sofa as they break down the finish and will eventually ruin your suite.
If the ink is on an aniline style, there is nothing that will remove it because the ink will have re-dyed the leather. It may dissipate over time with cleaning and protecting.

The furniture store should have a thing that looks like a big soft crayon. It removes ink from leather.

There is a product on the market that is for removing ink from leather. Hair spray removes ink from some fabrics. I don't know about using it for leather. You could try it. I don't think it would hurt the leather.

One of the best products I have ever used and I have 2 leather living room suites. Mr. Clean magic eraser. It is awesome. But leather is easy to clean. Use the magic eraser and then water.

This is going to sound really wierd but put toothpaste on a rag and rub it. you might have to put some elbow grease in it but it should get it right out. my son drew all over the entertainment center and that was the only thing that worked. good luck.

I have heard Aquanet hairspray works - but to be on the safe side call the manufacturer and ask their recommendation.
Good Luck!
