First, decide where you want the bump map.  Let's try the arm.  Find a design you like such as one of Ron's Tech designs in the store.

Next, check to see if there is a bump map for that area in the texture map in the Surface tab.  Let us assume there is a bump map.  Find out where it is either by browsing the location or searching for the name of the file.

Open the file in an image editor like Photoshop or Gimp.  Create a new layer, place your cyberpunk design on the new layer where you want in black and white/ greyscale where black is a depression, white is raised and greys are in between. Flatten the layers, save as jpg WITH A NEW NAME.  
 

Navigate to the old bump map location on the Surface tab, and replace with the new bump map. Render.
