Okay, long story, but my Mom passed away seven years ago and now there is this rumor she had a tattoo....and well, it would be completely out of character if it was true. The only person who holds the truth will only tell me if I solve the following riddle:
There are two islands. Two different tribes on each. One tribe only tells the truth and one tribe only tells a lie. The chief brings both tribes before him and asks a representative of each to step forward. He turns to one and asks if he is the truth teller, the tribesman says yes. The other tribesman states he is lying. Who is telling the truth?
PLEASE HELP!!!!

The one who said yes is lieing.
If he were of the truth tribe then he would answer no because he might be a truth teller but not the truth teller.
The question is a ambiguous.
Are there two tribes on each island?
Which tribe does the chief belong to?
Is the second tribesman talking about himself or the first tribesman?
