One of his band members got drunk and went to get a tattoo. Marty went to talk the fella out of it. An altercation ensued and Marty was knocked out in the parking lot. His band member (former) dragged him into the tattoo parlor and had a large duroc pig tattooed onto Marty's throat. Both the band member and tattoo artist fled to Belize afterward and Marty was left with the decoration. He's worn the scarf ever since.
(My husband is a CW music fan and I'm being subjected to an afternoon of what he has recorded on RFD channel to share with me.)
I tried to find out why Marty has such a bad hair style, but was not successful...did find this:

''The four things a hillbilly singer needs are a Cadillac, a Nudie suit, the right hairdo, and a pair of pointy-toed boots,'' says the 33-year-old backwoods belter.Marty Stuart reeks of style.
