I had a friend who played bass guitar professionally. String plucking had scarred his fingers so badly that he had trouble getting fingerprinted to get a police license to play in nightclubs. The cops said that was common among bass players.

The two basic ideas scientists believe about fingerprints are:
Fingerprints never change. Small ridges form on a person's hands and feet before they are born and do not change for as long as the person lives.
No two fingerprints are alike. The ridges on the hands and feet of all persons have three characteristics (ridge endings, birfurcations and dots) which appear in combinations that are never repeated on the hands or feet of any two persons. A ridge ending is simply the end of a ridge. A bifurcation is a Y-shaped split of one ridge into two. A dot is a very short ridge that looks like a "dot."
