It depends on what kind of fabric the clothing is as well as what type of pen ink it is but ditto what was said before or check the link below:

I have had the best luck with the dab method using rubbing alcohol. They used to advice hairspray but it was basically the alcohol in the hairspray that was doing the removal.

MAKE SURE!!! to put a towel on the underside and then pour the rubbing alcohol directly on the pen. With another cloth dab on the ink spot. This may take a few repeats but it will get it out. Be sure to put that towel on the opposite side or it will just seep the pen thru. Good luck!!!

I've heard rubbing alcohol works. Never tried it so I'd try on small spot first.
