The easiest way to record your fingerprint is by applying ink to your finger and then pressing it firmly onto a paper surface. Many records of fingerprints now, however, are electronic, copying your fingerprint into a database for matching. People can also "dust" for fingerprints because of the oil on our hands. The oil will deposit in the shape of the ridges, and the dust will cling to the oil revealing the fingerprint.

How is the DNA fingerprint different from the other fingerprints?
DNA "fingerprinting" actually has nothing to do with fingerprints. Since fingerprints have been used in American courts since the Jennings case in 1911, maybe they used the term "DNA fingerprint" to help people grasp the concept of comparing two samples side by side, trying to find similarities and differences between them. Fingerprints are actually more unique than DNA. Identical twins (and other identical multiples) have identical DNA but different fingerprints. Every finger is different than every other finger in the entire world - including the other fingers on the same hand.

Your teeth and eyes are more unique than fingerprints, so that is not true
If identical twins marry identical twins could at least some of their kids look like twins having similar fingerprints?
They may look alike, but they will never have the same fingerprints, because fingerprints are created by differences of thickness in the dermal layer. It is independent of genetics, therefore, twins will never have identical fingerprints and any similarities between twins fingerprints would merely be coincidental.

Fingerprints do not provide DNA themselves. It is the DNA that creates the contours of your fingerprints, so rather than providing the DNA fingerprints merely support it. Therefore, if DNA is already available it can easily be linked to fingerprints.
