Questions & Answers about Är du nöjd med den detaljerade tatueringen du fick?
Why isn't there a word for "that" before du fick?
This is an example of omitting the relative pronoun som. Because som would be the object of the relative clause (you are the one who "got" the tattoo), you can drop it. This works exactly like English, where you can say "the tattoo you got" instead of "the tattoo that you got".
Can I put som back into the sentence? If so, where does it go?
Yes, it is perfectly correct to include it. It would go immediately after the noun it refers to: Är du nöjd med den detaljerade tatueringen som du fick? Dropping it just makes the sentence flow a bit faster in everyday speech.
Why does the adjective detaljerade end in -e instead of the usual -a for definite forms?
The word detaljerad is a past participle being used as an adjective. In the definite form (required here by the double definiteness of den ... tatueringen), past participles ending in -ad change to -ade rather than just adding an -a. This makes it much easier to pronounce.
I know nöjd means "satisfied", but is med always the right preposition to use with it?
Yes! When you are satisfied or pleased "with" something or someone in Swedish, the fixed expression is always nöjd med.
