  Some themes do provide for custom image backgrounds and some do not. As you have the custom design upgrade the answer is “yes”. this thread will be moved to the CSS Forum for you.

  If your theme supports adding a background image through settings, it would be under Appearance → Background.

  The Vigilance theme doesn’t have that, so you would want to add something like the following example to your Appearance → Custom Design → CSS editor:

  body {
  	background: url('http://s.wordpress.org/about/images/logos/wordpress-logo-32-blue.png');
  }

  I used a smal WordPress logo as an example, you would want to change out the image link.
