Fingerprints are like a puzzle. Every person has a very specific puzzle. If you take one piece away from the puzzle, no one can figure out who that fingerprint belongs to. The majority of individuals looking to manipulate fingerprints are doing it for criminal reasons like criminals have done in the past. Folks burn off their fingers to damage that puzzle, and voila! No law enforcement can put their fingerprints through their database. The only way is a pretty painful one, so I recommend not to go down that road.
