Yes and No... it depends on the chemicals in the ink and how they react to steel and the blue surface. Personally I wouldn't write anything on the surface of a gun... You never know what will affect the finish.
Most folks don't realize that a nickled gun exposed to Hoppes #9 for an extended time will cause the nickle to dissolve! I know a friend that had a S&W Nickle Model 29 that once wiped his gun down heavily with Hoppes before he put it away for longer than a year. When it came out of the wool-lined pistol case a year later, it had to be returned to Smith&Wesson to be restored...
