The phrase "my name is written on his hands" is not a direct, verbatim quotation from most standard English Bible translations, but it reflects imagery found in Isaiah 49:16, where God says to Zion (Israel):
“Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.” (ESV)
Directness of application:
If by "directly" you mean, "Was this statement originally written to or about Christians as the immediate audience?" — then no, it was written to Israel.
If you mean, "Can Christians legitimately apply this promise to themselves through faith in Christ?" — then yes, by way of spiritual and covenantal inclusion (Romans 11, Galatians 3:29).
Summary:
The phrase applies to Christians indirectly through Christ, not directly as a standalone promise to the Church. It is a biblical image of God's unfailing remembrance and love, which Christians believe is fully revealed in Jesus' pierced hands.
