I have tried all the tips and tricks suggested but nothing has worked! Any other idea on how to remove blue pen ink from tan leather?

This will sound unlikely but as long as it is leather and not suede; just spray the ink with a little hair spray/lacquer and it should rub off with a cloth. It works on a lot of different surfaces but don't try it on anything which has a nap, like suede and fabric.
I have used this often and it does work, this was a tip I picked up from watching the 'How clean is your house' team, Kim and Aggie on tv.
It worked ! thanks
Is it the alcohol in the hairspray that removes the ink from the leather - therefore can I just use rubbing alcohol?
Yes, that is my understanding. I would use a 91% or 99% isopropyl alcohol, which will evaporate entirely. I'd test a small section that is hidden first though, because the alcohol could remove the leather's color, depending on how it was tanned/dyed.
