Tattoo: “Polar bear with a native American headdress” and the name “Lee” above it.

Meaning: Marsh got a massive piece inked on his back. This tattoo is inked by the tattoo artist, Tony Adamson. He gave a brief description of the tattoo on his Facebook account. He wrote,

My dad’s called me ‘Polar Bear,’ basically, since the day I was born. My parents are mixed, and I came out, obviously, very, very, very light-skinned. So my dad called me ‘Polar Bear,’ and they’re the most vicious bears on the planet. So that’s what I’ve attached myself to, the polar bear. The Native American headdress is—my mom is Creole, my Dad has Native in him. The bear’s got the crosses over the eyes; I wear that in games. ‘Lee’ is my grandfather’s name, sort of a tribute to him, and my middle name. The tattoo is like me, a representation of who I am in tattoo form.“
