From the consultations of a man who had a tattoo done to cover scarring resulting from cardiac surgery, the author speaks about the effects on the mental apparatus brought about by a body marked by excitation and illness. Thus he establishes a relationship between the function of inhibition and the place of the ideal, psychically inscribed in the commerce between the drive and otherness.
