Try a baby wipe, Johnsons or Boots. They seem to get all sorts of things out of clothing and fabric. Used it on red wine in the carpet last week, worked a treat.
Blot using gauze or cheesecloth and rubbing alcohol.
Place a dry piece of cloth on the inside and then blot the outside with a pieces of cloth soaked in rubbing alcohol and the ink should bleed out onto the fabric below (unless the ink is of the permanent variety). Repeat until it's gone.
For ink, you can try a few things. Goo gone might work, lestoil, mineral spirits or another paint thinner. If it's organic ink it might just come out some detergent. If it's greasy you might try a dish detergent like Dawn. Rubbing alcohol or acetone might work. Baking soda and water. Or this might help:
Ballpoint Ink Stains
Lay the stained area on top of a clean dry white towel. Apply rubbing alcohol to the ink stain and blot with another clean white cloth, removing the stain as you blot. Rinse thoroughly.
Lay the stained area on top of a clean dry white towel. Apply nail polish remover to the ink stain and blot with another clean white cloth, removing the stain as you blot. Rinse thoroughly.
Apply your normal liquid laundry detergent onto the ink stain and allow the garment to sit for 3-5 minutes.
Wash in the warmest water that the fabric can tolerate.
Before drying, double check to make sure the stain was removed. If not, repeat the previous steps until it is.
Stain devils got rid of biro for me.
Use nail varnish remover.
The acetone in the remover is an effective solvent of ball point pen inks.
Liquid remover from a bottle is the easiest to use (perhaps applied with cotton buds?) though remover pads also work well enough.
