How can I get ink off my hardwood floor? I tried hairspray, rubbing alcohol, and goof off remover and no luck?

I have also tried nail polish remover. There has got to be a way to remove this, it is just regular pen ink.
You can remove the ink with WD-40….a product available at your local hardware store.
WD-40 is a household product used to lubricate doors and joints that creak but it also removes ink.
Spray the area with a thick layer of WD-40. Allow to sit for about a half an hour. Then wipe away the ink with damp paper towels.
If you’re skeptical…it worked for this other woman who asked a similar question on Yahoo Answers: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoOV.IxuLy5q_rA0ZpR5vlLty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20091203232213AABP50S&show=7#profile-info-vjPfT1J6aa
After all the treatments you have already done, it’s possible you have removed the finish from the floor. You might have to re-stain the area. If this is the case, you could always simply sand the area with Fine Grit Sandpaper to remove the ink…and then re-stain the area once the ink is gone.
