i think the expression is: you have THICK SKIN (not "a"). meaning... the person is not overly sensitive.. they are not bothered by people saying mean things, etc.

@emtrivoli Thank you for your answer. I know the meaning of the expression, but what I was wondering is the difference between "have a thick skin." and "have thick skin." Is it okay to say "You have thick skin" and "You have a thick skin." in written English? I mean without "a" is totally fine grammatically? It is a very trivial stuff but I would like to know. :)

I think you can write it both ways. but for me... if I saw someone write "you have a thick skin", my first thought is.. 'english is not their first language'. it's just not the way I usually see or hear this expression. (could be just my opinion).

there is no "difference".. it's more a matter of getting the expression correct.
