Tatianna is the stage name of Joey Santolini,[1] an American drag performer, hair stylist, make-up artist and performing artist hailing from Falls Church, Virginia. She is best known for being a contestant on Season 2 of RuPaul's Drag Race.

Tatianna was revealed to be a contestant for the second season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars, where she was eliminated on episode 2. Due to a twist that occurred on episode 5, Tatianna returned to the competition alongside previously-eliminated queen; Alyssa Edwards.

She was eventually eliminated by Alaska in episode 6. Her elimination caused an uproar among fans and she is widely regarded as one of the breakout stars of All Stars 2.

About

Tatianna was known as one of the most controversial queens of Season 2 and was often complimented as the "prettiest" or "fishiest" of her season.

Tatianna was also often looked down on by her competitors in Season 2, especially Raven, for being the youngest queen of the season.

Tatianna served glamour and fish, but was criticized for not having fashion-forward outfits and extravagant performances. However, she was highly praised and won the Snatch Game challenge for her Britney Spears performance. Other queens don't think she deserved the win.

Drag Name Origin

Joey was one day browsing through his CD collections and found the artist "Tatyana Ali". Joey thought it was cute and stuck with "Tatianna" ever since.[citation needed]
