Any luck fixing this?

From what I've read (King Ranch website, click on details when looking at their leather conditioner), once a stain is in the leather, it is there permanently. Use a cotton towel with water to try to remove the stain quickly. Then just take care of the leather as best as possible, using a conditioner. I ordered the conditioner from King Ranch but I'm sure any saddle/tack shop will have similar products on the shelf.

Wipe up the ink with a dry paper towel, trying not to spread the stain. Use a small amount of moisturizing soap and water to clean what doesn't come off with the dry paper towel. Apply a commercial grade leather care product to the spot. Choose one that is made for removing ink stains. This is the safest way to go. Then apply leather cleaner on the stain. Follow up with some leather protector to restore the leather's finish.

Thanks for the reply, I've been just conditioning it every few days and it has been getting less noticeable.

Mix it up 10:1 (10 water:1 woolite) in a squirt bottle. Then, mist it onto the leather, and wipe with a microfiber towel.
