The true colour of henna is a dark green. Any other colour contains dyes that are not made for the human skin and can cause life long scarring and irratation. My advise don't do it. Henna only comes in one colour and they certainly don't use it in Bali. It's just not worth the risk. You could go to a tattoo artist and see if he'll do a tattoo using his colours but not the actual needle. This would last for a few days.
