Ok I've got a tip that works like MAGIC.
If you get ink - ballpoint pen, PERMANENT marker, some felt pens, etc. on fabric or upholstery liberally douse the area with rubbing alcohol and immediately gently blot or " catch" the runoff/liquid in a rag.
The alcohol will lift the ink up and put it in suspension so you can whisk it away.
I have personally done this many times, it works.
Rubbing alcohol will usually not leave a mark and ink always does.

This trick will also work on countertops etc. If its ink, go for the rubbing alcohol.

If you don't have rubbing alcohol around, you can also use hand sanitizer too.

Also I've found Magic Erasers are great for removing paint transfer on your car where other people have hit you with their doors, etc. Just be careful to only remove the paint, and not the clear coat underneath.
