Default Stain on seat, need help

I have a ink blot stain on my seat from someones hand this weekend. Now the stain will not come off of my seat. (that is why it is a stain I guess). Is there anyway to get this thing off of my seat??
Please help

A little bit of rubbing alcohol should take out the ink stain, and then some mild soap and warm water should remove the residue.

I was able to remove red ink stains using Fast Orange. fast Orange will dry the leather. Hence, treat the spot with a leather conditioner as well.

Had to use your advice tonight, my wife got an ink stain on the brand new seats of the GX. The rubbing alcohol did the trick. It wasn't a magical super easy wipe away cleaning experience, it took some elbow grease. But it did come off. Thanks.
