Yes, you can absolutely pluralize that expression. if you prefer not to, you must add the word "A" to the beginning of the second sentence to make it sound correct

for strictly proper grammar, the The first one should be "backs of their hands". Taxi drivers have more than one hand (they don't all share one hand, so you you would say "backs of their hands" and not "back of their hands")
