• Fingerprinted — Having undergone the process of fingerprinting or imprinting; a person whose papillary prints have been taken and recorded for judicial purposes, or an object or material surface on which a texture, design, or distinctive mark has been impressed through structural pressing. Figuratively, it describes an element strongly influenced, marked, or individualized by a certain trait, culture, or personality.
• Indentation — A trace, indentation, or mark left on a surface following the exertion of a physical pressure or compression force; the act of short and energetic pressing with a writing instrument, chisel, or mechanical device.
