Acetone will remove permanent marker ink, or at least, most inks including the permanent markers that I buy.
Nail polish remover will typically be pure acetone or contain a lot of acetone (along with amyl acetate, which is a big brother to acetone).
Acetone is also soluble in water, just like ethyl alcohol.
So, wet a white tissue with acetone (or nail polish remover if you don't have any acetone) and dab the spot. If the tissue starts becoming stained the same color as the marker ink, then the ink is being dissolved.
You can keep blotting with a tissue, but you can also wet the stain with acetone or nail polish remover to dissolve the ink, and then hold it under running water to wash away the acetone (with the ink dissolved in it).
