No. Actually, the skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet have additional layers of skin than there are on the rest of your body. The perception that the skin is thinner at your fingertips may be related to the high number of sensory nerves and transducers at these locations. Only the skin of the tongue and erogenous zones elsewhere in your body have higher numbers of sensory organs.

No, your skin is not thinner there, well unless you just fell of a moving motorcycle and scraped your hands across fifty feet of asphalt. There are simply more touch sensory receptors there than on say your elbow or even the back of your hand.
