Use windex. I know it sounds weird, but I used it on a wooden door covered in permanent marker, and it worked.

That's what you get for being ******* dramatic.

In most cases, you can remove permanent marker from wood (and possibly other surfaces, though I've never tested any) by going over the permanent ink with a dry erase marker and then wiping away with an eraser.

congratulations for getting over with him, burn his name out and moving on but why the hell would you burn ON the table? a thing called fireplaces or outside. smh

You're not Taylor Swift :) Sorry OP

if it's like sharpie ink try acetone. not nail polish romover but 100% pure acetone. that shit gets everything out. but if it's a really nice real wood desk use hair spray. soak the area with hair spray and slowly but surely use a old cloth n blot away the area repeating the hair spray to pull the ink out of the wood. :) hope I helped Hun.

Draw over it. Draw Godzilla. Rampaging Tokyo, with laser beams coming out of his eyes. And a dragon flying overhead, with grizzly bears shooting semi-automatic weapons. As innocent citizens are running away and jumping off the edge of your desk. It shall be epic.

I'm pretty sure it's not actually engraved unless you wrote his name with a knife. Just get some turpentine or kerosene or methylated spirits - that'll take it off in no time.

scribble dat shit out

imagine the irony if her ex-boyfriend was Mr Clean
