BALLPOINT PEN INK
1. Apply lukewarm glycerine. If fabric is strong enough, TAMP with brush or
spoon. BLOT, pressing hard on stain. Keep stain moist with glycerine.
Continue as long as stain is being removed. FLUSH with water.
2. Apply mild detergent solution with several drops of ammonia. Continue to TAMP. FLUSH with water.
3. If stain remains use chlorine bleach. Apply bleach solution with MEDICINE DROPPER. Do not use chlorine solution on wool, silk or spandex. Do not allow bleach to remain more than two minutes. FLUSH with water after each bleach application. Apply vinegar solution to remove excess chlorine, then FLUSH with water.
These directions have been tested in a Cornell University laboratory. If
followed, the chance of removing the stain is very good. "Old" stains are
more difficult to remove than "fresh" ones, and some staining agents are so strong that they will not react to any efforts to remove them.

i think ive developed an unhealthy obsession with removing the ink from my sofa 
However i had a brainwave and moment of courage (hoping it wouldnt fade the leather) i tried stain devils no 1 for ink removal. And yes it works a treat. Thank god i didnt buy some expensive product in a shop or via the net cos this stain devil cost £1.65 from Asda. The big test will come when i wake up tomorrow morning to see if its left an unsightly patch of faded leather hahahaha! (perhaps i shouldnt count my chickens eh tomorrow i could be laughing on the other side of my face
