    Could you tell us what you tried that didn't work? Always good to show some effort, and your chances for a good answer increase.

Put a thin layer of ink on your finger, print onto paper, scan at very high resolution greyscale, place in Illustrator and use Image Trace to vectorise it.

  • this is how i'd do it. nothing better than mixing analog with digital.black indian ink is great for this. if you do it onto card you'll get a crisper fingerprint.

You might want to try to create parallel lines and distort them using the twirl, pucker and warp tools.
