Fingerprints don't "show" anything. They are merely a foolpoof method of identifying to whom the print belongs. If you have ever committed an offense and were fingerprinted as part of the booking process, your prints are on file. Since fingerprints NEVER change, the FBI records store fingerprints for life.
