Depends on the depth of the cut.
After years of occasional woodworking, I have a couple of fingers where a smooth line of scar tissue runs right across the arches and ridges of the original fingerprint.
If you're thinking "crime", it doesn't really matter much either way, since the scars become a part of the pattern.
And for the amount of injury a person is likely to pick up through everyday life there's still plenty of the original pattern left to work with for identification purposes.
Even people with deep burns, or flaying type injuries to their fingertips do tend to display fingerprints. Only thing is that they get a personal set of smudges and blotches instead of the classical ridges and arches.
It can make automatic recognition more difficult, but doesn't ultimately prevent identification.
