ballpoint pen ink on lariat tan leather? how to get out?

One of my stupid friends dropped his ballpoint blue pen on the passenger seat and it left a mark of about 1/4". Its not really that noticeable, but I haven't been able to get it out (tried a little alcohol to no avail). Asked my mom and she told me pen on leather is a BAD combination. Anyone here with any tricks? thanks,

Before applying various chemicals and taking a chance on really screwing up your seats, I'd take the truck to an apholstery (sp) shop or someplace that specializes in leather. Perhaps a good dry cleaners?

I got ink all over my hands. It was dark when I got in the truck. Next day I noticed the in all over the leather steering wheel cover. I could not find anything that would take it out. Several weeks later, and it is gone just from use.
