We use black (ebony stain) for large areas.We use permanent black markers for small areas.

The first answer is good but he left out one part and that is to gently rub the area with acetone before appling ebony stain or permanet black marker.

There are 2 methods of reapplying this as long as it is on a pigmented/finished leather (aniline style ones will need different products).
The first would be to use Easy Colour which is a wipe on coloured finishing cream. The alternative is to use the pigment products which would have been used to colour the leather in the first place.
Permanent markers are ok on wood but should not be used on leather. Do not use any sort of furniture or shoe polish as if this does not work it may be impossible to fix.
There is so much misinfomation about leather on the internet, I have just read on another forum that using scotch tape will remove glue and biro from leather. It will but it will also leave this sort of damage behind.
Please be careful what advise you take, always consult a trained professional before trying to fix anyhting on leather as it can so easily go wrong with homespun remedies.
