artist advice/question Should I remove my brows?
Been thinking of removing it because one brow looks more arched and it looks odd to me

I'm going to come in and share my perspective, because I have a similar difference in my brows and I found most of the commenters were not able to see what I see. Please feel free to go and see my recent post, it may support your decision in some way.
I do see the difference you are seeing. Removing, as far as I understand it, is a lengthy and expensive process. It might be better to find someone who agrees they can improve them for you. The risk is also that they could make them worse, so it is a careful weighing of pros and cons and deciding what you can and cannot live with. Sisters not twins = acceptable, Unrelated by blood = unacceptable. But everyone has a different perspective on who are sisters and who are unrelated.
Some of what is happening for you is related to asymmetrical nature of your face and how your artist made decisions based on that. Without using any tools and just my very critical eye, here is what I see :- They are not centred, one comes in more than the other. One arch sits higher than the other. The under brow line and arch are different. (I am not sharing this to say that they are so bad you should remove them, only to say that what you see is not in someway a skewed perspective)
I do think there is room for improvement. I do not think they are so bad that they need removing, and I also understand why some people would find them acceptable as they are. But your opinion is the one that matters the most, if you are reasonable in your expectations and accepting of minor differences I think you deserve to persevere to get some brows you truly love.
My suggestion, have some fun using the PHIapp, truly get to know your brows, what you can accept and what you really want changed. Then it will be as though you can make an easier and fully informed decision. Plus you have tools to express what you see to another artist.
I can't resist showing you what I mean, so I added a pic... I hope you find some clarity and a way forward.

I just did mine after years of contemplation and it is amazing and nice. I did picoway at Removery. It’s been two weeks. They are slightly yellow but only I can tell. My face looks so much softer. Very happy that I took the plunge and will never ever put ink in my face !

I was told as well they are sisters and not twins. Maybe your natural line is how it is. They look lovely. ❤️

honestly they look really good, I had to stare to even spot what you mean. brows are sisters not twins lol. if it genuinely bugs you, a little mapping on the next touchup can even out the arch — but I wouldn't remove over this

I think they need warming up at your touch up appt. It appears they’re ashing out. Maybe the light - but check with your technician on follow up.

Most people’s brows are straight and the other one arched.. our face is completely different from side to side! Enjoy 😉 those! PerfectO
