Hindsight is 20/20 and I realize this probably wasn't the best idea to begin with....

I was gunna say to encase it in resin, but I realized that's the actual phone haha. Maybe practise pouring epoxy resin on surfaces, and see what it does to ink like that on surfaces like that... I think the heat might fuck with it, also you might want to use a torch on the resin to get rid of any bubbles (just 'glancing' passes with the torch, so it shouldn't create that much more heat then the setting resin). Get the same brand of marker and a similar material; probably anything plastic would do. You'd then have to make some sort of mould that can attach to the phone in shape you like and sand it down afterwards.
Resin creates heat when setting, so it would be best if you take the phone back off... I doubt you can though so...

Encasing the phone would be a "solid" option if it weren't for the lithium bomb that the phone contains. (I could probably just fully discharge it somehow, but bypassing the charge controller to make that happen would be problematic.)
A super thin coat of resin is still a good option and the heat may be manageable in that case. The phone body is designed to sink quite a bit of heat already, so likely not a serious issue.
Quite a bit to think on! Thanks! :)
Edit: Oh shit. I just realized that encasing the phone in resin and then having the lithium battery decide to off itself in a dramatic way could be 10x more catastrophic than I originally thought, making it absolutely not ideal for air travel. Lol!
