It's true, they say a fingerprint can tell a person's unique identity. But what do you think about the idea of a finger print creating that identity?

This technique involves adjusting just the right amount of pigment on his finger tips to create the portrait. It's not unusual for a portrait to take up to two years to complete. They are time consuming and elaborate, but I think you'll agree, the end result is just exquisite!
