Normally you would wash the newly tattooed area with soap for the first three days to prevent infection. But do to my environment at work, I am not able to wash area with soap and water, so would anti-bacterial wipes work?

Not really. You want to wash it with soap and water. AB wipes won't clean it or kill enough bacteria to prevent infection.
They may also damage the costly ink.
Where do you work that you can't be take a shower once a day?

is this your first tatt ?
When I got my 8 tatts, I used only soap and water. BLOTTING DRY the area. There is a very good chance of "scarring" the area, It is a major concern at the beginning so be careful.

I think the wipes would sting more then soap/water.
