As I wrote on my wiki back in the day...
So, she constantly has her hands (or more than her hands) plunged in random pieces of equipment and magitek stuff, which tends to take a heavy toll on them, rendering them callous, often dirty or covered in various stinky/sticky shit like oil, soot, etc. It tends to give a certain contrast between the few spots that are usually spared and the rest (meaning, the back of the hands versus the palms).
Added to that she is extremely clumsy. Before she took an obsession for engineering magitek and machinistry she was raised as a botanist/herbalist. Her hands already showed a lot of cuts and marks due to cutting tools used to that purpose, even if she tended more to slack than being serious at it. Now, with way more dangerous and lethal tools, you bet that she tends to hurt herself quite a lot on a regular basis. And it's not just about cuts and marks, but burns or bruises too.
She was too poor to do anything about it before, but now that she earns a bit more than the bare survival it is possible for her to grab a few potions at times to limit the damage over time.

Her skin is generally pretty flawless, when clean, but a few cuts and marks hard to define can be found all around her hands and limbs, which are probably the product of her inability to deal with manual labor without hurting herself in the process.
