im not a font/typeset expert...meaning i dont know anything about either :p. im trying to find a nice cursive upper case Q, hopefully there is an expert or someone with good taste who knows of a font that has a nice elegant cursive Q. thanks for any help!
 
Does it need a long tail on it? A swash? What's it for, just out of curiosity? I might do some looking later on.
 
i want to use it for a tattoo design that im working on (not actually tattooing it on myself). i want to find a nice font as a base and then i plan on modifying it a bit. a solid base is the first step though.
i like the cursive used with the L and J on Lebron James' tricep tattoos. i dont know how to explain why i think it came out so beautifully...maybe the bold/thin relationships...i cant explain it but a Q similar to that is what im looking for

These are two scripts I like... you should check out veer.com they have a lot of nice script typefaces too, Alejandro Paul is really great.

thanks for all the samples mates. ive been playing around with pretty much all of them and also got sidetracked checking out Alejandro Paul's awesome work. im doing a lot of sketching on paper now but ill share my final work if i get the chance.
 

I also have a thing for Arno pro. Light Display is my variant of choice... depending on application of course.

But in this case, I agree with Edwardian Script. Although it does look a little like a 2.
