Yes leather is porous and water (moisture) is good for leather and is what keeps it in good condition.
Leather has to 'breathe'. This means that the leather naturally transpires which allows the movement of moisture back and forth through the leather.
All finshes and finishing processes that are used (including repair processes) have to use specific products that allow this movement of moisture to take place.

Store your leather garment in a well-ventilated area and cover with a cloth to keep it dust free. Avoid storing your leather garment in plastic. Leather is porous and it needs to "breathe"."

Fabric pens can potentially rub off leather, especially if the leather is smooth or has a finish that doesn’t absorb the ink well.

Additionally, applying a fixative or sealant can help protect the design from rubbing off. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
