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.

Can you have two different finger prints?
Yes, it is possible to have different fingerprints on each finger. Each person's fingerprints are unique, even between their own fingers. No two fingerprints, even on the same person, are the same.
Are both hands fingerprints the same?
No, each hand has a unique set of fingerprints. Even the fingerprints on each individual finger of the same hand are different. This uniqueness is what makes fingerprints a reliable form of identification.
Do fraternal twins have the same finger prints?
No, fraternal twins do not have identical fingerprints. Fingerprints are determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, so even siblings who are not twins will not have the same fingerprints.
Do twins have same finger prints?
No, identical twins do not have the same fingerprints. While they may have similar patterns due to genetic factors, the specific ridge details that make up fingerprints are influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, making each person's fingerprints unique.
Do twins have different fingerprints?
Yes, twins have different fingerprints. Even identical twins, who share the same DNA, have unique fingerprints because fingerprints are formed randomly in the womb due to factors like pressure and environment.
How many fingerprints are the same?
None. No one has the same fingerprints as you, and none of your fingerprints are exactly the same.
Are the fingerprints on both hands the same?
No, the fingerprints are uniquely dfferent for each finger.

Are both hands fingerprints the same?
No, each hand has a unique set of fingerprints. Even the fingerprints on each individual finger of the same hand are different. This uniqueness is what makes fingerprints a reliable form of identification.
Do you have the same fingerprints for all fingers?
No, each finger has its own print.
Does the same finger have the same print?
No, just the opposite, we all have a different set of fingerprints.
Do fraternal twins have the same finger prints?
No, fraternal twins do not have identical fingerprints. Fingerprints are determined by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, so even siblings who are not twins will not have the same fingerprints.
Does everyone have the same finger prints?
No, just the opposite, we all have a different set of fingerprints.
Do your family have the same finger prints?
No, your finger prints are your own. No one has the same fingers prints as you. Genetics state this, although twins can have very similar fingerprints.
Do twins have same finger prints?
No, identical twins do not have the same fingerprints. While they may have similar patterns due to genetic factors, the specific ridge details that make up fingerprints are influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, making each person's fingerprints unique.
Why are fingerprints such a good way to identify people?
because no finger prints are ever the same ever.
Do children and their parents have the same types of fingerprints?
No, children and their parents do not have the same types of fingerprints. While children inherit some characteristics from their parents, fingerprints are unique to each individual, even among family members.
